if y=3x+4 we're changed to y=5x+4 how would the graph of the new function compare to the first one
A. it would be steeper
B. it would be shifted up
C. it would be less steep
D. it would be shifted right

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. It would be steeper

Step-by-step explanation:

In the linear equation y = mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

In this problem, the function is changed to have a larger slope of 5, compared to the original slope of 3. But, the y intercept stays the same.

Since the y intercept remained the same, it will not be shifted in any direction.

But, with a larger slope, the graph will be steeper.

So, the correct answer is A. It would be steeper
