Question

An object that is translated 5 units to the right would be written as y + 5?

Answer 1

no?

Answer 2

like in an equation it has to be like y= x-5

Answer 3

false, that would make the function move down 5

Answer 4

how should the equatio be written then?

Answer 5

do you have an equation for your function?

Answer 6

y= a(x-5)

Answer 7

?

Answer 8

im just asking too since im not sure

Answer 9

if for example you moved the line y=x 5 units to the write the equation would then be
y = x - 5

Answer 10

moving a line down 5 is the same as moving it right 5, but quadratics, cubics, etc would be different

Answer 11

^cool, I never actually saw that till now lol

Answer 12

(x+5)

Answer 13

moving y = x^2 5 units to the right gives y = (x-5)^2
