Answer:
The parent graph has been horizontally shifted '2' units to the left, and vertically shifted 5 units down.
Hence, option (a) is true.
Explanation:
Horizontal traslation of f(x) is of the form
It means if the constant 'h' is negative, it means the the parent graph is shifted 'h' units to the left.
Vertical traslation of f(x) is of the form
It means if the constant 'k' is subtracted from the output, the parent graph vertically shifted 'k' units down.
Given
y = |x|
So, after y = |x+2| -5, we conclude that the parent graph has been horizontally shifted '2' units to the left, and vertically shifted 5 units down.
Please also check the attached diagram.
- The red graph shows the parent function i.e. y = |x|
- The blue graph shows the transformed function i.e. y = |x+2| -5
Hence, option (a) is true.
