Question

If you shift the linear parent function, f(x) = x, down 6 units, what is the equation of the new function?
A. g(x) = x + 6
B. g(x) =1/6 x
C. g(x) = 6x
D. g(x) = x – 6

Answer 1

If you shift the linear parent function f(x) = x down 6 units, the new function will be g(x) = x - 6. So, the correct option is D.
