Question

How is the function shown below related to y=x? Graph the function by translating the parent function y=x+5

Answer 1

Just took the quiz, the correct answer is,

B. Each output of y=x-5 is five less than the corresponding output for y=x.

Answer 2

Consider x=0.

The output of the function y=x is y=0.

The output of the function y=x+5 is y=0+5, or y=5.

The value 5 is not 5 less than 0, not 1/5 of 0, and not 5 times 0. Rather, it is 5 more than 0, corresponding to selection ...

... C. Each output of y=x+5 is 5 more than the corresponding output of y=x.
