Question

if the equation y=4x-5 is changed to y=1/4x-5 how is the graph affected

1) the line is shifted up

2) the line is closer to verticale

3) the line is closer to horizontal

4) the line is decreasing from left to right

5) the line is decreasing from right to left

Answer 1

3) the line is closer to horizontal

it has flipped from 4/1 to 1/4

4/1 means up 4 and over one(just 4x)

1/4 means up one and over four(1/4x)

The line is still going the same direction, it has just

moved closer to being a horizontal line
