Question

Write an equation for a function that has a graph with the given characteristics. The shape of y =1/x shifted right 6 units and shifted up 2 units..

Answer 1

Hi Kasey,

The answer to this is y = 1/(x - 6) + 2

In general, when we shift right we subtract it from the x and when we shift left we add it to the x.

When we shift up we add it to the fraction, and to shift down we subtract it.

Please let me know if I can be more helpful, thanks!
