Two Different Graphs

Suppose that the graph of a function f is known. Expkain how the graph of y = f(x) - 2 differs from the graph of y = f(x - 2).

Let me see.

For the graph of y = f(x) - 2, the graph of y = f(x) is shifted down 2 units on the line x = 0.

For the graph of y = f(x - 2), the graph of y = f(x) is shifted two units to the right on the line y = 0.

You say?

Re: Two Different Graphs

Both answers are ok but there was no need to include "on the line ....." Saying down or right is enough.
