Each statement describes a transformation of the graph of y= x. Which statement correctly describes the graph of y= x - 8?

The function is shifted downwards by 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Determine the transformation that gives:

When a function f(x) is shifted by b units, the new function g(x) is g(x) = f(x) - b

In this case:

So, the new function is:

Substitute 8 for b

Hence, the function is shifted 8 units downward

the answer to your question a or b but i am pretty sure it is b. i hope this : )
