Question

Describe the transformations needed to translate the graph of y = 1/x to the graph of y = 1/x+3 -4

A to the right 3 and up 4
B. to the left 3 and up 4
c. to the right 3 and down 4
D. to the left 3 and down 4

Answer 1

To translate the graph of y = 1/x to y = 1/x+3 -4, perform two transformations: translate 3 units to the right and 4 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate the graph of y = 1/x to the graph of y = 1/x+3 -4, we need to perform two transformations:

1. Translate the graph 3 units to the right. This can be achieved by subtracting 3 from the x-coordinates of each point on the original graph.
2. Translate the graph 4 units down. This can be achieved by subtracting 4 from the y-coordinates of each point on the translated graph.

So, the correct answer is Option C. to the right 3 and down 4.
