Question

Which statement best shows how the vertical shift affects the parent function y=x when shifted to y=x+5?(1 point)

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

B. y=x+5 will have each point 5 steps to the left of y=x.

C. y=x+5 will have each point 5 steps lower than y=x

D. y=x+5 will have each point 5 steps to the right of y=x

Answer 1

The correct statement that best describes how the vertical shift affects the parent function \( y = x \) when shifted to \( y = x + 5 \) is:

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

This is because the "+5" indicates a vertical shift upwards by 5 units.
