Which statement best shows how the vertical shift affects the parent function y = x when shifted to y = x + 5?

Question

• y = x + 5 will have each point 5 steps to the left of y = x.
• y = x + 5 will have each point 5 steps higher than y = x.
• y = x + 5 will have each point 5 steps lower than y = x.
• y = x + 5 will have each point 5 steps to the right of y = x.

Answer 1

• y = x + 5 will have each point 5 steps higher than y = x.
