The answer is:

Example Question #44 :Transformations Of Linear Functions

Translate the functionto the left four units. What is the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Translation of a graph to the left four units will require replacing the x-variable with the quantity:

Replace the term inside the equation.

Use distribution so simplify the terms.

Simplify the equation.

The answer is:

Example Question #45 :Transformations Of Linear Functions

Shift the equationup two units. What is the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the equation after the translation, we will need to put the equation in slope-intercept format,.

Subtractfrom both sides of the equation.

The equation becomes:

Divide by three on both sides.

Add two to the y-intercept for the vertical shift. This is the same as adding.

The equation is:

Example Question #46 :Transformations Of Linear Functions

If the graphis translated 5 units left, what is the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Rewrite the given equation in standard form to slope intercept format,.

Subtract x from both sides.

The slope intercept form is:

If the line is translated 5 units to the left, we need to replace the quantity of x with.

Simplify the equation. Distribute the negative through the binomial.

The answer is:
