Answer:

True. The graph will shift down if we subtract a number from "b"

Explanation:

"b" represents the y-intercept, or how high up on the y axis the graph intersects.

If we don't change anything except for the y-intercept, then the graph should only move up or down.

Because we are decreasing the value of "b" the y intercept will decrease, dragging the graph of y down.
