Answer:

The translation corresponds to a translation of 13 units to the right

Explanation:

Translation of a Graph

If the graph of

y=f(x) is translated a units horizontally, then the equation of the translated graph is

y =f(x - a)

The value of a is considered positive for translations to the right.

The parent function is

y = x

and the given function is

y = x - 13

The translation corresponds to a translation of 13 units to the right
