Question

What is the difference of the graph of g(x) = 8x-1 from the graph of f(x) = 8x? A. It will be shifted to the left 1 unit. B. It will be shifted to the right 1 unit. It will be shifted up 1 unit. C. It will be shifted down 1 unit. D. It will look exactly the same.

Answer 1

The y-intercept of f(x) is 0 while it is -1 for g(x)
Therefore, the graph of g(x) will be shifted downward one unit. The answer is C.
