Question

If y=3x+1 were changed to y=x+1, how would the graph of the new function compare with the original?

Answer 1

A slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

since everything is the same but the slopes we know that the answer is either steeper or not as steep

The slope decreases which means the line is not as steep

the two slopes cross at (0,1).

Hope this helps!
