Given the equations f(x) = 8x - 3 and g(x) = 3x - 3, what is the difference between the graphs of f(x) and g(x)?

Question

isaidavila · Answer

The only difference is the slope, because the y interception is the same.

anonymous · Answer

the slope changes. Since the equation for slope is mx + b and m is the slope, the slope for the first equation is 8 and the slope for the second equation is 3.

anonymous · Answer

The graph of g(x) is 8 units higher than the graph of f(x).
The graph of f(x) is steeper than the graph of g(x).
The graph of f(x) is flatter than the graph of g(x).
The graph of g(x) is 5 units lower than the graph of f(x).

anonymous · Answer

these are the possible answers

anonymous · Answer

would it be d

anonymous · Answer

the answer is the second choice. if you graph these equations on a graphing calculator you will see that an equation with the greater slope will always be steeper therefore the answer is b.
