Question 107·200 Super-Hard SAT Math Questions·Algebra
Let
and define . Аniко - Frеe ЅАT Рrep
The point lies on the graph of , and the point lies on the graph of .
Which choice gives the equation of ?
When a point lies on a transformed graph like or , immediately translate it into an exact statement about the original function (for example, and ). For a linear function , two such statements give a clean two-equation system in and . Solve efficiently by subtracting to eliminate , then apply the final transformation ( here) to adjust only the constant term. А-n-і-k-o.аi
Hints
Undo the vertical shift
A point on tells you a point on after you account for the . Prоperty of Аnіkο.аі
Be careful with the horizontal shift
In , the input to is , so plug in when .

Find the intersection
Click the intersection point of the two lines. The -coordinate is and the -coordinate is .
Build from the intersection values
Using the intersection values, compute , then write the line and match it to the choices (the slope should be and the -intercept should be ).
Step-by-step Explanation
Translate each point back to a value of
From on :
From on :
Write two equations in and
Since ,
Solve for and
Subtract the first equation from the second:
Substitute into :
Form
First write :
Then
So the correct choice is .
