Question

I don't know what the answer is and I need help

write a function g whose graph represents the indicated transformation of the graph of f.

the equation f(x)= x - 5 translated 4 units to the left is g(x)=

don't you dare tell me it's -1 because I just tried it out myself and it's not -1​

Answer 1

To solve this, you want to express the change to x directly since you are moving along the horizontal or X-axis. Thus, to show a 4 unit translation to the left, we would do g(x) = (x + 4) - 5 = x - 1.
