a) Change in slope
b) Change in y-intercept
c) Change in domain
d) Change in range

Answer 1

The shift of the function in this graph could have been caused by a...

• b) change in y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

A shift is a rigid translation in that it does not change the shape or size of the function's graph. All that a shift will do is change the location of the graph. A vertical shift adds/subtracts a constant to/from every y-coordinate while leaving the x-coordinate unchanged, or vice versa.
