Question

which of the following best describes the effect of replacing the graph of y = f(x) with the graph of y= f(x) - 9? a. the graph of y = f(x) will shift up 9 units b. the graph of y = f(x) will shift down 9 units c. the graph of y = f(x) will shift left 9 units d. the graph of y = f(x) will shift right 9 units

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

If you were to have an equation y = x.

Then, x - 9 shifts it down 9.

If you were to have an equation y = 2x.

Then, 2x - 9 shifts it down 9.

Using this pattern, we deduce that f(x) - 9, shifts the graph down 9 units.

So, our answer is B>
