Question

If the equation y = 1 5 x + 2 is changed to y = 1 5 x - 4, how will the graph of the line change? A) It will shift down 4 units. B) It will shift down 6 units. C) It will shift right 4 units. D) It will shift right 6 units.

Answer 1

It will shift down 6 units.

Answer 2

B) It will shift down 6 units.

Step-by-step explanation

The given function is

y=15x+2

We want to find how the graph of this function will change if the function is transformed to

y=15x-4

We rewrite this function in terms of the first one to get:

y=15x+2+-6

Hence the function with shift down 6 units.
