Consider the function: y = 8 − 2x.

Question

Question 1
What is the effect on the graph for the given function if the slope of the function is changed to −10?

Answer 1

If the slope of the function is changed to -10, the graph of the function will become steeper. The negative slope indicates that as x increases, y will decrease at a faster rate. The new graph will have a steeper negative slope compared to the original graph.
