Question 132969: Given the function y+3.5x-54.68, which statement best the effect of increasing the y-intercept by 33.14? Answer by vleith(2983) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'll assume you meant the function is
That is in the form of a line with a positive slope and a y-intercept at -54.68. If one were to increase the y intercept by 33.14, the intercept would be at -21.54.
The effect would be to 'slide' the line from it's original position, upwards 33.14 units. It will be parallel to the original line, but "above" it by 33.14
You might want to plot this using a graphing calculator or download geogebra and look at it that way.
