Answer :

In order to solve this problem we have to remember that the equation of any line takes the form

[tex]y(x)=mx+b[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]y(kx)=\text{mkx}+b[/tex]

In other words, multiplying k by x is just multiplying the slope m by a factor of k.

The slope of g(x) is

[tex]m=2[/tex]

and the slope of f(x) is

[tex]m=1[/tex]

We see than the slope of g(x) is 2 times the slope of f(x); therefore, k = 2 which is choice D.
