Question

What transformation to the linear parent function, f(x) = x, gives the function g(x) = x + 8?

Answer 1

Answer:

Shift 8 units up

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is;

f(x)=x

and

g(x)=x+8

The function f(x) has its y-intercept at y=0.

The function g(x)=x+8 has its y-intercept at y=8

This implies that; the linear parent function f(x)=x is shifted up 8 units to obtain g(x)=x+8.
