Question

Describe the transformations necessary to get from the graph of the parent function f(x)=x? to the

Answer 1

Answer:

 translate the graph 5 units left and down 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate the function f(x) by an amount h units right and k units up, make the transformation ...

 g(x) = f(x -h) +k

Comparing this to your equation,

 g(x) = f(x +5) -2

we see that the translation is h = -5, k = -2.

The graph of f(x) is translated 5 units left and 2 units down to make the graph of g(x).
