if transcription progresses at the rate of 40 nucleotides per second, how long it would take to transcribe a sequence that is 3.6 x 104 bases long?

we have

we know that

The point in the graph of f(x) is the point in the translated graph

so

The rule of the translation is

That means

The translation is units to the right and units up

The equation of the translated graph is equal to

therefore

The answer is

the value of k is equal to
