Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the graph of f(x)=2xf(x)=2x and the graph of g(x)=f(x)−4g(x)=f(x)−4 ? The graph of g(x)g(x) is the graph of ​ f(x)f(x)​ translated 4 units right. The graph of g(x)g(x) is the graph of ​​ f(x)f(x)​ translated 4 units up. The graph of g(x)g(x) is the graph of​​ ​ f(x)f(x) ​ translated 4 units down. The graph of g(x)g(x) is the graph of f(x)f(x) translated 4 units left.

The ANWSER is b

OpenStudy (troy121101):

can you explain how and why it is the correct answer?

OpenStudy (troy121101):

hey @zepdrix

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Because anything below the line is always going to be greater than or greater than and less than

OpenStudy (troy121101):

anyone else have a different answer?

OpenStudy (troy121101):

I want all the possibilities

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

That's how I came up with the ANWSER but I'm sure zepdrix will break it down

OpenStudy (troy121101):

alright, thank you @mrs.ambrose614

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Welcome

@zepdrix ?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

what... what's going on? +_+ I just got here

zepdrix (zepdrix):

f(x) = 2x g(x) = f(x) - 4 Is that what we've got going on? I see a bunch of stuff repeated so it's a little hard to read.

OpenStudy (troy121101):

okay, I will fix it for you...

OpenStudy (troy121101):

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the graph of f(x) = 2x and the graph of g(x)=f(x)-4 @zepdrix I guess the copy/paste of the problem cause it to repeat the equations... Sorry about that

zepdrix (zepdrix):

f(x) = 2x g(x) = f(x) - 4 So then g(x) = 2x - 4

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Maybe this is an easier way to think of it... f(x) is like y. y=2x Now you have this new function which subtracts 4 from every y value, g(x) = y-4 So every point gets shifted DOWN by 4 units. Does that make .. some sense?

OpenStudy (troy121101):

A little, so would the answer be C. then?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yes :) option C

thanks, can you help me with 4 more? in different questions?
