Answer:

The function
y = x is shifted downwards by 8 units

Explanation:

Given


y = x

Required

Determine the transformation that gives:
y = x-8

When a function f(x) is shifted by b units, the new function g(x) is g(x) = f(x) - b

In this case:


y = x


b = 8

So, the new function is:


y = x - b

Substitute 8 for b


y = x - 8

Hence, the function is shifted 8 units downward
