Y = x² + 7x - 4
y = -x - 4
x² + 7x - 4 = -x - 4
+ x + x
x² + 8x - 4 = -4
+ 4 + 4
x² + 8x = 0
x(x) + x(8) = 0
x(x + 8) = 0
x = 0 or x + 8 = 0
- 8 - 8
x = -8
y = -x - 4
y = -0 - 4
y = 0 - 4
y = -4
(x, y) = (0, -4)
or
y = -x - 4
y = -(-8) - 4
y = 8 - 4
y = 4
(x, y) = (-8, 4)
The solutions are (0, -4) and (8, -4).
Most of the graphing resources used shows that the graph is translated up by 3.25 (3 + 1/4). If you add the 3 and the 1/4, you get the equation of a line:
f(x) = x + 3.25,
which means that the graph of f(x)= x now has a y intercept of 3.25.
The graphs are below. The red line represents f(x) = x, and the green line represents (x+3)+1/4. Hope this helps!
I also think that the answer is B too
Y = -5x - 4
switch x and y and solve for y
x = -5y - 4
x+4 = -5y
(x+4)/ -5 = y^-1 ( the inverse)
The y function
hope this helps
