The first thing we must do for this case is to find the equation of the line.
We have then:
We choose an ordered pair:
Substituting values:
From here we conclude:
Intersection with y:
We evaluate x = 0 in the function:
Slope of the line:
Point (-2, -5):
We evaluate the value of x = -2 and the value of y = -5
The equation is satisfied.
Point (8, 0):
It is part of the table, therefore belongs to the line.
Answer:
The slope is 1/2
The y-intercept is -4.
The points (-2, -5) and (8, 0) are also on the line.

Answer:
Rule: replace x by x - a where a is the number of units that you want to move right. a must be greater than 0. x - - a would move left.
Step-by-step explanation:
You want f(x) to move 3 units to the right.
That would mean that x would be replaced by x - 3. Just to be sure let's try it.
- Suppose you have f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 5 It is graphed as the red line
- Now suppose you want to move 3 units right.
- It would replaced like f(x - 3) = (x - 3)^2 + 6(x - 3) + 5 which is the blue line
- Notice nothing else is changed. The blue line looks exactly like the red line except that it is shifted 3 units to the right.
