Question

What change do you have to make to the graph of f (x) = 4x in order to graph the function g (x) = 4x+5?

Shift the graph _____ units _____.

A.) 4, right

B.) None of these

C.) 4, left

D.) 5, left

E.) 5, right

Answer 1

Hello, Halle,

Look at both equations

Y=4x and

Y=4x+ 5

We are simply adding 5 to the first equation. Y in the second equation will be 5 higher than the first. They are both straight lines with slope 5, so they are paralel to each other, with the second 5 higher than the first.

Sp it seems to me the correct answer should be 5, up. But the closest I can find is "None of These."
