False. In the scenario described, since the graph objects with their own palette icons are graded individually, shifting one line incorrectly while shifting another correctly likely means that only the correctly shifted line would receive credit. If the goal is to adjust the lines so that the intersection occurs at a specific point (4, 6), then both lines need to be positioned correctly to achieve that outcome.
After adjusting the location of the line, you now see two lines on the graph; the initial position of the line is now labeled (D1 or D or D2), and the new position is labeled (D or D2 or D1).
Can there be more than one shiftable line?
Sometimes you will be given two shiftable lines, in which case you may be required to shift just one, both, or neither of these lines, depending on the instructions. Each graph object with its own separate palette icon will be graded individually.
Note: When you are given two lines, the point representing their intersection does not have a palette icon, and this point cannot be moved independently of the lines.
Given the following demand (D) and supply (S) lines, shift one or both lines so that the new intersection represented by the black point (plus symbol) occurs at (4, 6).
Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. The curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
True or False: If you shift one of the lines incorrectly and the other correctly, you will receive credit for the correctly shifted line.
