Question

If the graph of the line y=2/5x-4 is translated up 5 units, what is the equation of the new line

Answer 1

y = 2/5x+1

Explanation:

When you're translating up or down, the number goes all the way to the right. Because the graph was being translated down 4 already (-4), we add the 5 (up 5) to it. Therefore, -4 + 5 is 1.
