Question

The graph of f(x) = (0.5)x is replaced by the graph of g(x) = (0.5)x − k. If g(x) is obtained by shifting f(x) down by 7 units, then what is the value of k?

k equals one seventh
k equals negative one seventh
k = 7
k = −7

Answer 1

Answer:

k = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical shift down by 7units, f(x) - 7

g(x) = (0.5)x - 7

g(x) = (0.5)x - k

Comparing both equations, k = 7

Answer 2

Answer:

k = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

it would be 7 and not -7 because there is already a minus symbol which shows that k is being moved downwards 7 UNITS.
