The graph of y = f(x − 3) is a of the graph of y = f(x).

shift

These are common types of transformations of functions. Many functions have graphs that are simple transformations of the parent graphs, that are the most basic functions. In this way, we can use vertical and horizontal shifts to sketch graphs of functions. These are rigid transformations because the basic shape of the graph is unchanged. Therefore is a Horizontal Shift, so the graph of the function has been shifted 3 units to the right.
