Consider the graph of the linear function h(x) = –x + 5. Which could you change to move the graph down 3 units?
the value of b to –3
the value of m to –3
the value of b to 2
the value of m to 2

Respuesta :

We are given linear function h(x) = –x + 5.

On comparing with slope-intercept form y = mx+b, we get b=5.

Therefore, y-intercept is at 5.

We need to change to move the graph down 3 units.

According to rules of transformation f(x)+c shift c units up and f(x)-c shift c units down.

Therefore, in order to  move the graph down 3 units, we need to subtract given function by 3, we get

y = -x+5 -3

y = -x +2.

Here y-intercept is 2.

Therefore, correct option is 3rd option: the value of b to 2.


Answer:

the answer is c
