Question

Line A (y = x + 2) is transformed into Line B (y=3x+1). Which best describes the new slope and y-intercept?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is steeper and the line is shifted downwards.

The y-intercept is shifted downwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

We proceed to demonstrate the transformation from the line A to line B:

1) $y = x + 2$ Given.

2) $y = 3\cdot x + 6$ Vertical dilation.

3) $y = 3\cdot x +1$ Vertical shift of the line in 5 units in the -y direction/Result

Hence, the answer is:

The slope is steeper and the line is shifted downwards.

The y-intercept is shifted downwards.
