The true statement about f(x) and g(x) is (a) the graph of f(x) is less steep than the graph of g(x).
The equations are given as:
[tex]f(x) = -\frac 34x -1[/tex]
[tex]g(x) = -4f(x)[/tex]
Substitute [tex]f(x) = -\frac 34x -1[/tex] in [tex]g(x) = -4f(x)[/tex]
[tex]g(x) = -4(-\frac 34x -1)[/tex]
Expand
[tex]g(x) = 3x + 4[/tex]
So, the equations of f(x) and g(x) are:
[tex]f(x) = -\frac 34x -1[/tex]
[tex]g(x) = 3x + 4[/tex]
A linear equation y = mx + b has a slope of m and a y-intercept of b.
So, the slopes of g(x) and f(x) are 3 and -3/4.
So, the y-intercept of g(x) and f(x) are 4 and -1
This means that
Both graphs are not the same, and they have different x-intercepts.
Hence, the true statement is (a)
