Question

Given f(x) = abx + c. How would increasing the value of a change the graph?
A) The function would be shifted up a units
B) The function would increase at a faster rate
Eliminate
C) The function would decrease at a faster rate.
D) The function would be shifted to the left a units.

Answer 1

Are you familiar with slope intercept form y=mx+b?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

This equation would yield a straight line which can be expressed in slope intercept form.
In slope intercept form, m is the slope, so a larger slope would mean a greater rate of change, or a greater increase.
You can see that the given equation is similar in that (ab) is m, so increasing the value of a would increase the slope.
