Question 576347: The graph of f(x) is obtained by translating the graph of g(x) = |x| 5 units down. Which is the equation of the graph of f(x)?
(Points : 3)
f(x) = |x| - 1
f(x) = |x| + 5
(My Choice)f(x) = |x + 5|
f(x) = |x| - 5

Sorry. Wrong choice.
If y (considered up if positive) has to be 5 units less, y=f(x)=g(x)-5
(blue) turns the corner at (0,0), (green) has its corner at (0,-5) and is the right answer.
is the red line that bends at x=-5, y=0, (-5,0). It is moved 5 units left.
