Question

True or false? adding 5 to the parent linear function results in a vertical shift up

Answer 1

Recall that the function represented by the graph of the function f(x) translated vertically n units up is:

`f(x)+n.`

Therefore if we add 5 to the parent linear function, we will get the function represented by the graph of the parent linear function shifted up by 5 units.

Answer: True.
