To choose:The correct option for thex -intercept when the said changes are made in the graph of the line.
Answer to Problem 4STP
The correct option is (J). The x -intercept remains the same.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The graph of a line has positive slope and negative y -intercept.
The slope and the y -intercepts are doubled.
Calculation:
Take an equation with positive slope and the negative y -intercept.
Calculate the y -intercept.
The x -intercept in this case is
Now, the slope and the y -intercepts are doubled.
The x -intercept in this case is
It can be concluded that there is no change in the x -intercept when the slope and the y -intercepts are doubled.
The correct option is (J).
