Question

@peachpi how is the fuction shown below related to y=x? Graph the fuction by translating the parent fuction. y=x=5

Answer 1

It depends on whether the = sign is supposed to be a + or -.

y = x + b translates the parent function vertically by b units. (up for positive b, down for - b). Also, b is the y-intercept.

Parent function: y = x

Answer 2

If your function is y = x - 5, the parent function has been translated down by 5 units

Answer 3

If your function was y = x + 5, the parent function has been translated up by 5 units
