Question

Which of the following statements best describes the effect of replacing the graph of y = f(x) with the graph of y = f(x) - 11

Answer 1

The graph of y = ƒ(x) will shift 11 units to the right.

Explanation:

When you decrease the value of x, you shift the graph of y = ƒ(x) eleven units to the right.

For example, the graph of

y = x² (the red parabola)

becomes the graph of

y = (x - 11)² (the green parabola) and is shifted 11 units to the right.
