HELP PLZ Given f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k, look at the graph below and determine the value of k. k = ______

@niyex

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any ideas? :-)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Recall: y = mx + b

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Look at the y-intercepts of both graphs.

OpenStudy (mww):

g(x) = f(x) + k means that the new graph g(x) is made by shifting the original graph f(x) up by k units. So every point that made up f(x) is k units up for g(x). See how many units a particular pt (eg. the y-intercept) has shifted.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

That^ is true if k is positive :)

OpenStudy (pandasneakers):

im so confused ...so is gx=-3x+5?

OpenStudy (pandasneakers):

or would the slope be where the 5 is

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

g(x) has a y-intercept at (0,5) f(x) has a y-intercept at (0,2)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Find those^ two points and take the difference.

OpenStudy (sachintha):

You don't need to consider about the slope or about the equations of them.

OpenStudy (pandasneakers):

so would it be y2-y1, x2-x1 ?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

The question does not ask for slopes.

OpenStudy (sachintha):

It would be \(c_1 - c_2\). :3

OpenStudy (pandasneakers):

?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

That^ is the answer: 5-2=3

OpenStudy (sachintha):

c - intercept
