Question

Which of the following statements best describes the effect of replacing the graph of y = f(x) with the graph of y = f(x) - 11?

A. The graph of y = f(x) will shift up 11 units.

B.The graph of y = f(x) will shift right 11 units.

C. The graph of y = f(x) will shift left 11 units.

D. The graph of y = f(x) will shift down 11 units.

Answer 1

im not good at graphs and I wanted to know if someone would help me I think the answer is B

Answer 2

saying f(x) - 11 is the same as saying y-11

since y = f(x)

Answer 3

so what does that mean? It means EVERY point on f(x) has been shifted down 11 units. This is because y handles the vertical location of each point. So y-11 changes that vertical location by 11 units down.

Answer 4

oh ok

Answer 5

so it is d

Answer 6

correct

Answer 7

thank you

Answer 8

you're welcome
