Question

compare the graph of the linear function to the parent graph f(x)=xf(x)=x-1a) reflection in the x-b) vertical shift of 1 unit upc) vertical shift of 1 unit down d) vertical shrink

Answer 1

c) vertical shift of 1 unit down

Explanations:

Given the parent function of a linear equation expressed as:

`f(x)=x`

If the function is shifted vertically downwards by k units, the resulting function will be;

`f(x)=x-k`

Comparing this vertical shift rultewith the resulting function f(x) = x - 1, you can see that the function f(x) = x is shifted vertically down by 1 unit to produce f(x) = x -1.
