Idk :(

skullpatrol · Answer

Do you know what the "slope-intercept" form  of a line means?

skullpatrol · Answer

$$\Huge y=mx+b$$

lena772 · Answer

Yes

skullpatrol · Answer

The number "b" is the point on the graph that the line intercepts the y-axis.

lena772 · Answer

m=slope

lena772 · Answer

yes ik

skullpatrol · Answer

$$\Huge y=mx+b$$
$$\Huge f(x) = 32x + 8$$
$$\Huge g(x) = 32x - 9$$

skullpatrol · Answer

how far has b shifted?

dan815 · Answer

just think about what the constant on the end is doing to every x value you put in, how is changing your y values for every x value

dan815 · Answer

how is it* changing you y values

dan815 · Answer

a graph is just a plot of many points over some "domain"(over some x values in your case)

dan815 · Answer

so think back to tables, when you input x=1,x=2,x=3.. what is happening to your Y

dan815 · Answer

when that -9 is there as opposed to that +8
