Question 9 of 10

If you shift the linear parent function, f(x) = x, down 7 units, what is the
equation of the new function?
A. g(x) = x
O B. g(x) = 7x
x
O c. g(x) = x - 7
D. g(x) = x+7

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. f(x) = x - 7

Explanation:

In order to find this, you simply need to know that vertical shifts can be added on to the end of parent equations as constants. Since this is a downward shift, we use a negative number.
