Question

Suppose that G(x) = F(x + 9). Which statement best compares the graph of G(x) with the graph of F(x)?

A. The graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) shifted 9 units up.
B. The graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) shifted 9 units to the right.
C. The graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) shifted 9 units down.
D. The graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) shifted 9 units to the left.​​

Answer 1

Option D

Explanation:

The graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) shifted 9 units to the left.​​

The positive 9 in the parenthesis let's us know that the transformation should be 9 units to the left.
