If the equation y = x + 4 is changed to y = x - 2, how will the graph of the equation change? a) the original graph will shift 2 units down. b) the original graph will shift 6 units down. c) the original graph will shift 6 units to the left. d) the original graph will shift 2 units to the left.

The original graph will shift 6 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If the equation y = x + 4 is changed to y = x - 2.

To find : How will the graph of the equation change.

Solution : We have given

Original graph equation : y =  x + 4.

Transformed equation : y = x -2.

y =  x + 4 →→ y = x - 2.

If we subtract the 6 from 4 it become - 2

We can see x + 4 -6 = x -2 .

So , y = x +4 -6  →→ y = x - 2.

By the transformation rule : f(x) →→  f(x) - k it mean graph shifted down by k units.

Then the original graph will shift 6 units down.

Therefore, The original graph will shift 6 units down.

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
