Answer 3

Imagine you got a graph of y=x^2. think about what will happen to x if it is substracted by 4 and what will happen to y if it is substracted by 8

Answer 4

I'm still a little confused @kelvin8262

Answer 5

what do you confuse about?

Answer 6

I just don't get it still, the whole thing @kelvin8262

Answer 7

Okay. let me put it this way. think of a graph. y=x^2. you let the x substracted by 4. x-4. where will the point go? and y, it is substracted by 8, where will this point. which direction do they go? think about the negative.

Answer 8

It will shift to the left and also down? @kelvin8262

Answer 9

yeah. you got it. :)
