Let us think about the parent function F(x) = x² to pick our answer.
Options A and C have only shifted 2 units down (showed by the "-2" at the end) and the function graphed is shifted four units down.
Between options B and D, one is shifted 2 units to the right, and one is shifted 2 units to the left. We need the one shifted 2 units to the left. This is shown by the "+2x" in option B meaning it is our answer.
Use the slope formula to find the slope of a line given the coordinates of two points on the line. The slope formula is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), or the change in the y values over the change in the x values. The coordinates of the first point represent x1 and y1. The coordinates of the second points are x2, y2.
Answer: The whole is divided into 3 equal parts. 2 out of 3 parts are shaded. 2/3 (two thirds) of the whole is shaded. 1/3 (one third) of the whole is not shaded.
