Question

A student graphed f(x)=x and g(x)= f(x)-8 on the same coordinate grid. Which statement best describes how the graph of f and g are related?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is D

The graph of f is shifted 8 units down to create the graph of g.

Explanation:

Given f(x) = x

If the graph of this function is shifted 8 units down, we have

x - 8

This is the function f(x) - 8

Since g(x) = f(x) - 8, we conclude that the graph of f is shifted 8 units down to create the graph of g.
