shift 6 units right

My awnser is d

Answer 1

correct

Answer 2

thanks for checking

Answer 3

yw

Answer 4

Um

Answer 5

Y=x is a line of slope 1 thru the origin. Y=(say, 10)...is a horizontal line

If you subtract 6 from x, you change the y intercept by 6

Answer 6

Draw it out and you'll see

Answer 7

Wait. I was doing it backwards. Its down

Answer 8

A( Bx + C ) + D

C = horizontal shift, C > 0, to the left, C < 0, to the right
D = vertical shift, D >0, up, D < 0, down

Answer 9

Its absolute value lines, not parenthesis

Answer 10

I dont think that applies here

Answer 11

correctomundo

Answer 12

Y = |10| is a horizontal line with y-intercept 10.
Y = |10-6| = 4 is a horizontal line with y-intercept 4. 6 units down...

Answer 13

Someone let me know where im going wrong if thats the case

Answer 14

the parenthesized version, does apply

Answer 15

Hm. My fault then, wasnt looking at it correctly. Since Y will always be positive youre right, it couldn't go any lower than the x axis.
