If a equation of a line y=5x-3 is changed to y=1/5x-3, how is the graph effected? A.The line shifts up B.The line becomes steeper C.The line becomes less steep D.The line now decreases from left to right

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

[tex]y=5x-3[/tex] -----> equation of a line with slope [tex]m=5[/tex]

Is changed to

[tex]y=(1/5)x-3[/tex] ----> equation of a line with slope [tex]m=1/5[/tex]

Compare the slopes

The slope becomes smaller

therefore

The line becomes less steep
