Question

Completely the instructions to move from one point to another along the line y = 2/3x+1. Down 4 units then. Units.

Answer 1

The parent function given is,

`y=(2)/(3)x+1`

We were told the parent function was translated 4 units down, which means

`\begin{gathered} y=(2)/(3)x+(1-4) \\ y=(2)/(3)x-3 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the transformed function would be,

`y=(2)/(3)x-3`

Let us now plot the graph of the parent function and the transformed function in order to compare the two graphs.

From the graph above, the parent function is represented in the green line while the transformed function is represented in the black line.

Therefore, the answer is

Down 4 units, then left 6 units.
