A student says that the graph of the equation y=3(x+8) is the same as the graph of y=3x, only translated upwards by 8 units. do you agree? why or why not??

Answer:

You don't agree because the equation is y = 3x and f(x) = 3x

Explanation:

You would not agree because y = 3x would essentially be a line starting at 0 and going up by 3 whereas

Y = 3(x+8) the graph would start at (0, 24) first point and the second would be (-8,24)
