Ella draws a hexagon on the coordinate grid and shifts it 7 units to the left. Use a function to show the translation. What function does Ella write?(1 point)

Question

Responses

f(x)=x+7
f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals x plus 7

g(y)=y−7
g left parenthesis y right parenthesis equals y minuus 7

f(x)=x
f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals x

f(x)=x−7

Answer 1

To represent the translation of a hexagon 7 units to the left on the coordinate grid, you would modify the x-coordinates of any point on the hexagon. To shift the points of the hexagon left by 7 units, you would subtract 7 from the x-coordinate of each point.

The correct function for this transformation would be:

$$f(x)=x-7$$

So, Ella would write:

f(x) = x - 7.
