Um... All of the coefficients in the two functional statements they've given you here *are* integers. So I'm not understanding what you mean by "this problem gives me nothing" (it gives you two functions and specific instructions), nor your reference to "integers".Graph the given functions, f and g, in the same rectangular coordinate system. Describe how the graph of g is related to the graph of f.
f(x)=-3x
g(x)=-3x-5
I know how to do this when it gives me integers but this problem gives me nothing.
I suppose you may be saying that are just starting to learn to graph equations; you have seen other problems where they give you an equation and tell you to plot points corresponding to, say, x = -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2, then plot the line through them.Graph the given functions, f and g, in the same rectangular coordinate system. Describe how the graph of g is related to the graph of f.
f(x)=-3x
g(x)=-3x-5

What's so special about integers? Can't you compute [imath]-3x[/imath] or [imath]-3x-5[/imath] when [imath]x[/imath] isn't integer?Graph the given functions, f and g, in the same rectangular coordinate system. Describe how the graph of g is related to the graph of f.

I suspect s/he meant "positive numbers".What's so special about integers? Can't you compute [imath]-3x[/imath] or [imath]-3x-5[/imath] when [imath]x[/imath] isn't integer?
I think they meant integers in general, because books commonly tell beginning students to use three or more integer values for x, just because that's easier than other numbers both to calculate and to plot. They may also point out that you should use multiples of any divisor involved (e.g. use even numbers to plot y = x/2 + 3).I suspect s/he meant "positive numbers".
If you actually do what the question tells you to do (ie: "Graph the given functions") then answering it becomes a fairly simple problem. (See here.)Graph the given functions, f and g, in the same rectangular coordinate system. Describe how the graph of g is related to the graph of f.
