anonymous · Answer

would it be down 9 units?

anonymous · Answer

im stuck with the 14, i think its right but im not sure

welshfella · Answer

f(x) ----> f(x - a)  moves the graph a units to the right
f(x)----> f(x) - a move the  graph a units down

welshfella · Answer

you are right with the 9 units down
