Question

Line A (y=4x+2) is transformed into Line B (y=x+5). Which best describes the new slope and y-intercept?

Answer 1

The new slope is 1 and the line is shifted flatter.

Explanation:

Line A slope is 4.

Line B slope is 1.

The y-intercept rose up 3

As far as slope, it became flatter because the line only rises 1 'square' for every 1 'square' it travels to the right. It was rising 4 'squares' for every 1 to the right.
