How does the graph of g(x) = 10x – 8 compare to the graph of f(x) = 10x?The graphs are the same.The graphs are translated upward 8 units.The graphs are translated downward 8 units.The graphs shift to the left 8 units.
Answer
A
The graphs are the same.
B
The graphs are translated upward 8 units.
C
The graphs are translated downward 8 units.
D
The graphs shift to the left 8 units.
Explanation
Since g(x) = 10x − 8 = f(x) − 8, every y-value on the graph of f is decreased by 8. This moves the graph straight downward 8 units, so the graphs are translated downward 8 units.
