The graph g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated___ units____ , and g(x) =____

Answer 1

@Hero

Answer 2

Okay, so for this one, you'll have to find the equation for g(x) first. Do you know how to find the equation for g(x)?

Answer 3

Or I should say, do you know how to find the equation of a line given a graph?

Answer 4

Rise over run? Or something like that. I am not good with math.

Answer 5

Okay, what about points? Can you find two points that are on the graphed line and post them here?

Answer 6

(3,4) and (0,-6)

Answer 7

The y-intercept of g(x) line is -5

Answer 8

Ohhh

Answer 9

it should be (0,-5) not (0,-6)
I guess it is a typo error :)

Answer 10

Good thing @marc pointed that out. So we have (3,4) and (0,-5). As a suggestion, I would probably try to choose points that are only on the axes that way it will be easier to calculate things like slope.
