Linear function f(x) = x is graphed on a coordinate plane. The graph of a new line is 3
formed by changing the slope of the original line to
2
and the y-intercept to -2.
Which statement about the relationship between these two graphs is true?
The graph of the new line is steeper than the graph of the original line, and the y-
intercept has been translated down.
The graph of the new line is less steep than the graph of the original line, and the
y- intercept has been translated up.
The graph of the new line is steeper than the graph of the original line, and the y-
intercept has been translated up.
The graph of the new line is less steep than the graph of the original line, and the
y-intercept has been translated down.
