Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem presents two graphs, and , which appear to be related through a translation. We are asked to determine the value of , where represents the translation vector from the graph of to the graph of .
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
Identify the equations of the graphs:
-
The graph passes through points (0, 2) and (3, 0). From these two points, we can determine the slope of the line: Therefore, the equation of is:
-
The graph passes through points (0, 6) and (9, 0). Similarly, the slope of is: Hence, the equation of is:
-
-
Translation vector: Since the lines have the same slope, is a translated version of . Comparing their y-intercepts, the translation in the vertical direction is: The horizontal translation can be determined by considering how far has shifted along the x-axis. The point on has been translated to on , so:
-
Sum of and :
Therefore, there seems to be a mistake in the problem's answer choices, as the sum is not listed.
