The linear functions f(x) and g(x) are represented on the graph, where g(x) is a transformation of f(x): A graph with two linear functions; f of x passes through 5, 0 and 10, 10, and g of x passes through negative 3, 0 and 2, 10.

Part A: Describe two types of transformations that can be used to transform f(x) to g(x). (2 points)

Part B: Solve for k in each type of transformation. (4 points)

Part C: Write an equation for each type of transformation that can be used to transform f(x) to g(x). (4 points)

A linear function can be written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If this line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope is:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

We know that line f(x) passes through points (5, 0) and (10, 10)

Then the slope of f(x) is:

a = (10 - 0)/(10 - 5) = 10/5 = 2

then:

f(x) = 2*x + b

again, knowing that f(10) = 10   (because this line passes through point (10, 10) )

10 = 2*10 + b

10 = 20 + b

10 - 20 = b = -10

Then the equation of this line is:

f(x) = 2*x - 10

Now for g(x) we know that it passes through (-3, 0) and (2, 10)

then the slope is:

a = (10 - 0)/(2 - (-3)) = 10/5 = 2

g(x) = 2*x + b

And knowing that g(2) = 10   (because this line passes through point (2, 10) )

10 = 2*2 + b

10 = 4 + b

10 - 4 = b

6 = b

then:

g(x) = 2*x + 6

Then the equations are:

f(x) = 2*x  - 10

g(x) = 2*x + 6

A) One transformation may be a vertical translation, and the other can be a horizontal translation.

This is a vertical translation, which is defined as:

For a function f(x), a vertical translation of k units is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + k

If k is positive, the translation is upwards

if k is negative, the translation is downwards.

And an horizontal translation of k units is written as:

g(x) = f(x - k)

if k is positive, the translation is to the right

if k is negative, the translation is to the left.

B)

For the vertical translation we have:

g(x) = f(x) + k

2*x + 6 = 2*x  - 10 + k

6 = -10 + k

6 + 10 = k

16 = k

For the horizontal translation we have:

g(x) = f(x - k)

2*x + 6 = 2*(x - k) - 10

2*x + 6 = 2*x - 2*k - 10

6 = -2*k - 10

6 + 10 = -2*k

16 = -2*k

16/-2 = k

-8 = k

C)

The transformations are:

g(x) = f(x) + 16

or

g(x) = f(x - (-8))

-13

step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x-5 for f(-4)

f(-4)   means let x=-4

f(-4) = 2(-4) -5

f(-4) =-8-5

      = -13
