Question

What is the equation of the function y=6/x translated 5 units to the left and 4 units up?

Answer 1

Hi @KatieBear

To translate any function, I'd like to remind you of the rules for translating:

to translate vertically:
y=f(x)+d --> vetical translation up
y=f(x)+d --> vertical translation down
(The d represents how many units you have to shift)

to translate horizontally:
y=(fx-c) --> horizontal shift right
y=(fx+c) --> horizontal shift left
(again, the the d represents how many units you have to shift)

Answer 2

So would that be y=(6/x+5)+4?

Answer 3

does that make sense? @KatieBear
