Question

the graph below represents y=x. If the slope of the above equation is changed from 1 to 4 which graph best represents the new equation

Answer 1

A graph with slope 4 would be y=4x

Answer 2

Answer:

The graph of the new equation is shown in figure 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

$y=x$

The graph of the above function is shown in figure 1.

The slope intercept form is:

$y=mx+c$

Where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.

Now, compare the slope intercept form with the provided function.

By the comparison it can be conclude that the slope of the provided function is 1 and y intercept is 0. As the coefficient of x is 1.

We need to change the slope from 1 to 4.

So change the coefficient of x from 1 to 4.

Thus, the required function is $y=4x$

The graph of the new equation is shown in figure 2.
