We are given with an original equation of y = x where the slope is 1 and passes through (0,0). if the equation is translated by 8 units to the right, the line still has the same slope but now passes through (8,0). y-y1 = m (x-x1)y - 0 = 1 (x-8)y = x - 8 The line now becomes y = x - 8
My reasonable estimate might be about 2 1/2 feet. I know that because taking three rulers up to your bedroom or a normal room and get about 2 or 2 1/2 feet
