Question

each statement describes a transformation of the graph y equals x which statement correctly describes the graph of y= x - 8

Answer 1

It is the graph of y = x translated 8 units down (option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

The original function: y = x

The new function: y = x - 8

For a function: f(x) = x - d

It shows a vertical translation down d units

This means the y axis willbe moved down d units.

since d = 8, we will move 8 units down

Hence, It is the graph of y = x translated 8 units down (option C)
