Question

Describe how the graph of y = ln x - 3 relates to the graph of its parent function y = ln x. aIt is shifted 3 units up. bIt is shifted 3 units down. cIt is shifted 3 units right. dIt is shifted 3 units left.

Answer 1

Step 1:

Write the parent function

$y\text{ = In(x)}$

Step 2:

The parent function y = In(x) is shifted 3 units down to get y = In(x) - 3

Final answer

Option B

It is shifted 3 units down.
