Answer:

The answer is image 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the line will be y = (-1/2)x + 3 so the gradient is negative and you will have to find the x-intercept and y-intercept.

x-intercept :

$let \: y = 0$

$0 = - \frac{1}{2} x + 3$

$\frac{1}{2} x = 3$

$x = 3 \div \frac{1}{2}$

$x = 6$

y-intercept :

$let \: x = 0$

$y = - \frac{1}{2} (0) + 3$

$y = 3$

Answer:

B the range, the x- and y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

the domain stays the same : all values of x are possible out of the interval (-infinity, +infinity).

but the range changes, as for the original function y could only have positive values - even for negative x.

the new function has a first term (with b) that can get very small for negative x, and then a subtraction of 2 makes the result negative.

the y-intercept (x=0) of the original function is simply y=1, as b⁰=1.

the y-intercept of the new function is definitely different, because the first term 3×(b¹) is larger than 3, because b is larger than 1. and a subtraction of 2 leads to a result larger than 1, which is different to 1.

the original function has no x-intercept (y=0), as this would happen only for x = -infinity. and that is not a valid value.

the new function has an x-intercept, because the y-values (range) go from negative to positive numbers. any continuous function like this must therefore have an x-intercept (again, y = the function result = 0)

$3 {b}^{x + 1} = 2$

${b}^{x + 1} = 2 \div 3$

$log_{b}(2 \div 3) = x + 1$

$x = log_{b}(2 \div 3) - 1$
