Question

If you shifted y=3x+6 five units to the right, what would the linear equation be? (Hopefully it's challenging and easy at the same time.)

Answer 1

y = 3x - 9

Explanation:

y = 3x + 6 is a linear equation.

Shift the equation 5 units to the right.

The linear equation becomes:

y = 3x - 9

Answer 2

`3x + 6 = y \\ 3x = y - 6 \\ (3x)/(3) = (y - 6)/(3) \\ x = (y - 6)/(3) \\ x = (y)/( 3 ) - 2`
