Question

Suppose that g(x) = f(x) - 2. Which statement best compares the graph of

g(x) with the graph of f(x)?
A. The graph of g(x) is shifted 2 units to the left.
B. The graph of g(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 2.
C. The graph of g(x) is shifted 2 units up.
D. The graph of g(x) is shifted 2 units down.

Answer 1

D. The graph of g(x) is shifted 2 units down

Explanation:

Since we are modifying b in f(x) = mx + b, we are dealing with vertical movement up and down. Since it is -2, we are moving down 2.
