Shift  up two units and left two units.  What is the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Apply the vertical transformation.  Shifting up two units will add two to the y-intercept.

Shifting the graph two units to the left will require a replacement of the x-variable with .

Simplify this equation.

The answer is:  

Example Question #78 : Linear Functions

Shift the equation  right four units.  What's the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A translation to the right four units will require the x-variable to be replaced with .

Rewrite the equation.

Simplify the binomial by distribution.

The answer is:  

Example Question #79 : Linear Functions

Shift the equation  left five units.  What is the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If a linear function is shifted left five units, the x-variable will need to be replaced with .  Replace the term, and simplify the equation.

Distribute the eight through both terms of the binomial.

The answer is:  

Example Question #31 : Transformations Of Linear Functions

Shift the equation  up three units and left six units.  What is the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form.

Shifting the graph up by three units will require adding three to the y-intercept.

Shifting the graph left six units mean that the x-variable will need to be replaced with:  

The equation becomes:

Simplify this equation.

The answer is:  

Example Question #31 : Transformations Of Linear Functions

Shift the graph  down six units.  What is the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Rewrite the given equation in standard form to slope-intercept form.

Subtract  from both sides.

Divide by three on both sides.

Simplify this equation.

Shifting this equation down means that the y-intercept will be subtracted six.

The answer is:  

Example Question #82 : Linear Functions

Translate the graph  down fifteen units.  What is the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The given equation can be rewritten in slope-intercept format, .

Shifting down a line fifteen units will decrease the y-intercept by 15.

The answer is:  

Example Question #83 : Linear Functions

Translate the graph  left four units and up one unit.  What's the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Shifting the equation up one unit will change the y-intercept by adding one.

If the graph is to be shifted four units to the left, the x-variable will need to be replaced with the quantity .

Use the distribution property to simplify the binomial.

The equation is:  

Example Question #84 : Linear Functions

Shift the function  up four units.  What is the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Rewrite this equation in standard form to slope intercept format.

Subtract  on both sides.

Divide by three on both sides.

Simplify this equation.

If this graph is shifted up four units, simply add four to the y-intercept.

The answer is: 

Example Question #85 : Linear Functions

Shift  left eight units.  What is the new equation?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Shifting the graph left 8 units will require changing the x-variable to .

Replace the term and simplify the equation.

Distribute the six through the binomial.

The equation is:  

Example Question #86 : Linear Functions
