Question

Identify the equation that translates y=ln(x) five units down.

Answer 1

It is the last on y=in(x)-5, I just took the test and got it right

Answer 2

We are given equation: y=ln(x) .

And translation is 5 units down.

We know the rule of transformation f(x) = y + k, if k is greater than 0 it would move up or if k is less than 0, it would move down.

For the given translation 5 unit down, 5 should be less than 0.

Number less than 0 are negative numbers.

So, we need to add -5 in the given function to ln(x).

So, we would get the final equation for five units down as

y =ln(x) - 5.
