What is the transformation that occurs to the equation y = 2x if it changes to y = 2x + 5? A. The graph moves 5 units to the left. B. The graph moves 5 units to the right. C. The graph moves 5 units down. D. The graph moves 5 units up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

imma say D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It either goes up 5 or goes right 5. I've always sucked at graphs, but I know the +5 would be a positive change, so it would go up or right. Im gonna say it'll go 5 to the right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea imma gonna agree with you now that i re read the qeustion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Not quite....if you want to shift a graph up or down...you add or subtract a number from the whole function f(x) = x + 5 -> graph goes up 5 units BUT if you want to move the graph left or right..you add or subtract a number from the 'x' f(x) = (x - 5) -> moves the graph to the right 5 units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah ok so yeah it would be D

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

So here....since the number 5 is being added to the function and nor just the 'x' we havea vertical shift of 5 units UP (since it is not -5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm i rly dont know im confused i will re-read the qeustion again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WHERES MAH MEDAL AT! xD

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

The original function is \[\large f(x) = 2x\] here is a list of some transformations using 5 as the number \(\large f(x) = 2x + 5\) ---> vertical shift 5 units up \(\large f(x) = 2x - 5\) ---> vertical shift 5 units down \(\large f(x) = 2(x - 5) \) ---> horizontal shift 5 units to the right \(\large f(x) = 2(x + 5)\) ---> horizontal shift 5 units to the left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its either A or D

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

@Ambbiiee just look at my examples of the different types of shift...you'll see which one it is :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im leaning more towards A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah its A

K12 Quiz?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i do ecot its another form of k12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok
