Given f(x) and g(x) = f(x + k), use the graph to determine the value of k.

g(x) is basically transformed f(x). First, let's focus on f(x) graph. Notice how the graph has slope of 1 and intersect y-axis at (0,0).

Which means that our equation for f(x) is:

Now then we focus on g(x). g(x) is f(x+k). That means if f(x) = x then f(x+k) would mean substitute x = x+k in the equation.

Next, we want to find the value of k. In the slope-intercept form or y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept. Notice the g(x) graph and see that the graph intersects y-axis at (0,4). Therefore k = y-intercept = 4.

Answer

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
