the equation f(x) = x+ 2 translated 2 units to the right is g(x)

Answer 1

To move a graph in the left-right direction you must add or subtract from "x" because "x" is the left-right direction. The only thing goofy about the "x" is that you have to do the opposite of what you would normally think. To move right, subtract. To move left, add.

So to move 2 units right, subtract 2 from the "x":

g(x) = f(x - 2) = (x - 2) + 2

So g(x) = x
