The graph shown will be translated up units. Which of the following will be the resulting graph?
Explanation
Choice A is correct. When a graph is translated up units, each point on the resulting graph is units above the point on the original graph. In other words, the y-value of each point on the graph increases by . The graph shown passes through the points , , and . It follows that when the graph shown is translated up units, the resulting graph will pass through the points , , and . These points are , , and , respectively. Of the given choices, only the graph in choice A passes through the points , , and .
Choice B is incorrect. This is the result of translating the graph down, rather than up, units.
Choice C is incorrect. This is the result of translating the graph left, rather than up, units.
Choice D is incorrect. This is the result of translating the graph right, rather than up, units.
