OpenStudy (igreen):

You want to shift it 5 units to the left..so what number do we use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't Understand this question move 5 from what? @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

It wants you to move f(x) = 2x + 4 five places to the right.

OpenStudy (igreen):

So what's our answer going to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = 2x + 4 is -2 in my graph @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

No.. we will subtract 9 to 4.. What's 4 - 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes..so what's your answer going to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or do I have to move it 5 spaces

OpenStudy (igreen):

No.. We already have: f(x) = 2x - k The negative is already there..

OpenStudy (igreen):

So what's our answer going to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean I need to get ride of the negative so D

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, you got it.
