Question 14 • EAP-Algebra Functions and Data Analysis A CR

Which describes changes to the graph of w(x), when applying the transformation w(x – 19)?

Answer
A
A point (r, s) on the graph of w(x) moves to (r – 19, s).
B
A point (r, s) on the graph of w(x) moves to (r, s – 19).
C
A point (r, s) on the graph of w(x) moves to (r + 19, s).
D
A point (r, s) on the graph of w(x) moves to (r, s + 19).

Explanation

Replacing x with x − 19 shifts the graph 19 units to the right. For a point (r, s) on the original graph, the same output s occurs when the new input is r + 19, since (r + 19) − 19 = r. Thus the point moves to (r + 19, s), which is choice C.
