Question

Is there a vertical shift? What is it?
2(x+2) – 5
I NEED HELP ASAP!!

Answer 1

Yes, there s a vertical shift to the right by 1

Explanation:

If you distribute the 2 among the (x+2) you get:

2x+4-5

Combine like terms:

2x+1

There fore the line shifts right by one.

Answer 2

Yes, the equation shifts down by five.

Explanation:

In equations, vertical shifts happen when the ENTIRE equation, or y, is added or subtracted a number.

Horizontal shifts happen when JUST the x value is added or subtracted a number, but this is a little different.

The formula for the equation you gave us is

m(x - h) + k

Since "h" is already negative, we have to flip the sign of the +2, so the horizontal shift would be LEFT two units.

As far as the vertical shift goes, we just have to look at the "+k."

Since k = -5, the equation shifts down five units.
