Notice that the difference between the two equations is the +5 on the right side of the second equation.
The graph of the following equations are as folllows:
For y=x:
For y=x+5:
Thus, the graph of y = x was shifted 5 units upward to obtain the graph of y=x+5.
Therefore, each value or output of y=x+5 is 5 more than the corresponding output of y=x. Consequently, the graph of y=x+5 is the graph of y=x translated up by 5 units.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
