Exercise 39 Page 176

Consider the horizontal and vertical translations.

See solution.

Practice makes perfect
Let's begin by sketching their graphs. The first graph has a slope of and a intercept of To draw the second graph, we will write it in slope-intercept form.
The second graph also has a slope of but a intercept of Let's graph this stuff!
If we recall the chapter on transformations, we know that:
By rewriting the general point-slope form, we can relate it to these types of transformations.
We see that point-slope form represents a horizontal translation by and a vertical translation by of the function Let's substitute and into this general equation and simplify
This means is a translation of units to the left and unit up of the function Let's show this below.
