Question

11. The slope of a linear function h(x) is 2. Suppose the function is translated 8 units up to get d(x). How can h(x) be

translated to the left or right to represent the same function d(x)? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

If we translate h(x) to the left it will override line d(x) because the slope of both lines is the same. H(x) will need to move 4 units to the left to do this (because the slope = 2 = 8/4).
