Given the equation y = 4x - 3.A) If x increases by 1 unit, what is the corresponding change in y? B) If x decreases by 5 units, what is the corresponding change in y?

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) y will increase by 4 unit.

B) y will decrease by 20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation that shows relation between x and y.

[tex]y=4x-3[/tex]

A) If x is increased by 4 units

   New value of  y =  [tex]4(x+1)-3[/tex]

                              [tex]=4x+4-3[/tex]

                              [tex]=4x+1[/tex]

So, change in y = new value of y- original value of y

                         [tex]=4x+1-(4x-3)[/tex]

                          [tex]=4x+1-4x+3[/tex]

                          [tex]=4[/tex]

Thus, the value of y will be increased by 4 units.

B) If x is decreased by 5 units

   New value of  y =  [tex]4(x-5)-3[/tex]

                              [tex]=4x-20-3[/tex]

                              [tex]=4x-23[/tex]

So, change in y = new value of y- original value of y

                         [tex]=4x+1-(4x-3)[/tex]

                          [tex]=4x-23-(4x-3)[/tex]

                          [tex]=4x-23-4x+3[/tex]

                          = -20

Thus, the value of y will be decreased by 20 units.
