Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

The function F(x) = x would be the “parent function”. Meaning the +4 we see in G(x) would be a translation, because the function is not multiplied.


if you have ever seen the formula y = mx + b then you should be able to see that +4 would be referencing b in the linear equation, and because m is the same in both lines, we can say that the two functions only change is b, because b represents the y-intercept, if b was 0 in f(x)=x and was 4 in g(x)=x+4, the graph would be shifted 4 units up.


if you want to learn how to understand functions and linear equations, I recommend using khan academy. It is really helpfull in explaining topics of math.

with the +4 it means that the graph will move 4 units up
