Question

please help!!!!
How do the graphs of y =1/x and y = 3/x – 4 compare?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hint:

Multiply 1/x by 3, then subtract 4.

Answer 2

Compared to the graph of y =1/x , the graph of y =3/x – 4 is a vertical stretch by a factor of 3 and a translation of 4 units left.
Compared to the graph of y =1/x , the graph of y = 3/x – 4 is a vertical shrink by a factor of 3 and a translation of 4 units up.
Compared to the graph of y =1/x , the graph of y =3/x – 4 is a vertical stretch by a factor of 3 and a translation of 4 units down.
d. Compared to the graph of y =1/x , the graph of y =3/x – 4 is a vertical shrink by a factor of 3 and a translation of 4 units down.

Answer 3

You describe the graphs in this manner. You say:

y = 3/x - 4 is the graph of 1/x amplified by 3 and shifted down by 4 units.

Answer 4

so it would be the third one? :/

Answer 5

Yup

thank you!! <3
