Question

If y = x - 6 were changed to y = x + 8, how would the graph of the new function compare with the first one?

Answer 1

The first one would have a y-intercept of (0,-6) and the second one would have a y-intercept of (0,8) and x (the slope) would still be the same.
y=x-6 would have points with (0,-6) (2,-4) (4,-2) (6,0)
y=x+8 would have points with (0,8) (-2,6) (-4,4) (-6,2)
In other words shifted up. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The graph of the new function compared with the first one is the graph would be shifted upward.

What is the equation?

In algebra, an equation can be defined as a mathematical statement consisting of an equal symbol between two algebraic expressions that have the same value.

The given equations are;

y = x - 6

y = x + 8

To compare the equation substitute the value of x = 0 and solving for the value of y.

y = x - 6

x = 0

y = 0 -6

y = -6

And y = x + 8

y = 0 + 8

y = 8

So the function would be shifted upward.

Hence, the graph of the new function compared with the first one is the graph would be shifted upward.
