In the given function , is a constant. The graph of function in the xy-plane, where , is translated units down and units to the right to produce the graph of . Which equation defines function ?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Choice B is correct. It's given that the graph of is produced by translating the graph of units down and units to the right in the xy-plane. Therefore, function can be defined by an equation in the form . Function is defined by the equation , where is a constant. Substituting for in the equation yields . Substituting for in the equation yields , or . Therefore, the equation that defines function is .
Choice A is incorrect. This equation defines a function whose graph is produced by translating the graph of units down and units to the left, not units down and units to the right.
Choice C is incorrect. This equation defines a function whose graph is produced by translating the graph of units to the left, not units down and units to the right.
Choice D is incorrect. This equation defines a function whose graph is produced by translating the graph of units to the right, not units down and units to the right.
