The graph of \( g(x) = -4x - 2 \) is the graph of \( f(x) = -4x \) shifted downward by 2 units.

Solución

We are given the functions  f(x) = –4x  and  g(x) = –4x – 2. Notice that both functions have the same slope (–4). This means that the lines are parallel. The only difference comes from the constant term. For any x, we have  g(x) = f(x) – 2. Thus, the graph of g is the graph of f shifted downward by 2 units. To elaborate: 1. Graph f(x) = –4x.  • It is a straight line through the origin with a slope of –4.  • For example, when x = 1, f(1) = –4; when x = –1, f(–1) = 4. 2. Graph g(x) = –4x – 2.  • It is also a straight line with the same slope (–4).  • Its y-intercept is –2 (i.e., when x = 0, g(0) = –2).  • For example, when x = 1, g(1) = –4 – 2 = –6; when x = –1, g(–1) = 4 – 2 = 2. Comparison: • Both lines are parallel because they have identical slopes. • g(x) is exactly 2 units below f(x) at every point. Thus, the graph of g is the graph of f shifted downward by 2 units.

When graphing the functions \( f(x) = -4x \) and \( g(x) = -4x - 2 \), you’ll see that both are linear functions with the same slope of -4. This means they will have parallel lines. The key difference is that the graph of \( g \) is shifted vertically downwards by 2 units compared to the graph of \( f \). This shows how the addition of -2 in the equation of \( g \) translates to a movement downwards on the y-axis. If you want to make the best comparison, plot the points of both functions. For instance, when \( x = 0 \), \( f(0) = 0 \) and \( g(0) = -2 \). This confirms that as you move downwards on the y-axis, the two functions remain parallel, maintaining the same steepness! Just think of it as brushing your hair (the slope) and then deciding to let some of it hang lower down (the shift)!
