This is the same as the slope because this is a linear equation
y = 5x is the same as y = 5x+0 which compares to y = mx+b
m = 5 is the slope = rate of change
b = 0 is the y intercept = starting amount
step-by-step explanation:
here's what happens:
1) the graph of f = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.
2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.
3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
