Function transformation involves changing the position of a function.
The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated 2 units right, and [tex]\mathbf{g(x) = 3(x -2) + 1}[/tex]
The function is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{f(x)=3x + 1}[/tex]
The graph of g(x) passes through (2,1) and (0,-5).
Start by calculating the slope (m)
[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{-5-1}{0-2}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{-6}{-2}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{m = 3}[/tex]
The equation is then calculated as:
[tex]\mathbf{g(x) = m(x -x_1) + y_1}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{g(x) = 3(x -2) + 1}[/tex]
By comparing [tex]\mathbf{f(x)=3x + 1}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{g(x) = 3(x -2) + 1}[/tex]
The graph of f(x) is shifted 2 units to the right
