How would you transform the first graph to make it become a non proportional graph with the same y-intercept as the second graph?

1 answer

To transform the first graph into a non-proportional graph with the same y-intercept as the second graph, we need to add a constant value to the y-values of the first graph.

To calculate this constant, we can subtract the y-intercept of the first graph from the y-intercept of the second graph. In this case, the y-intercept of the first graph is $22, and the y-intercept of the second graph is $15.

$15 - $22 = -$7

Therefore, we need to add -$7 to all the y-values of the first graph to transform it into a non-proportional graph with the same y-intercept as the second graph.
