Question

Which description best compares the graph of y-3=-2(×+4)andy=-2×_5

Answer 1

Rewrite the first function so that the two functions are in standard form:

y - 3 = -2x - 8 => y = 3 - 2x - 8 => y = -2x - 5

and

y= -2x - 5

We can now see immediately that these two functions have the same slope (-2) and same y-intercept (providing that you meant "y = -2x - 5).

The graphs of these 2 functions are identical.
