Hey there! :)
Answer:
f(x + 5/4) --> f(x) is translated 5/4 units left.
f(x) - 5/4 --> f(x) is translated 5/4 units down.
Explanation:
Recall that a linear equation in transformations form is:
f(x) = ±a(b(x-h))+k
In this instance:
f(x + 5/4) the 'h' value is -5/4, meaning the graph is translated 5/4 units left.
f(x) - 5/4 has a 'k' value of -5/4, so the graph is translated 5/4 units down.
