y = x + 5

y = 1/4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line

y = 1/4x + 5

(a)

A steeper line has a greater slope

So the line

y = x + 5

Is 4 times steeper than the given line

(b)

Vertical shift down of a function y is the function (y - 4)

So the required line is:

y = 1/4x + 5 - 4

y = 1/4x + 1

option: d is correct
