Find g(x), where g(x) is the translation 17 units up of f(x) = 8x - 8. Write your answer in the form mx + b, where m and b are integers.

Answer 1

Hello Vero,

Because the transformation from f to g is a translation of 17 units up, it means you would ADD 17 to f(x):

g(x) = f(x) + 17 = 8x - 8 +17 = 8x + 9

g(x) = 8x + 9

Answer 2

g(x)=f(x)+17

= 8x-8+17

=8x+9
