The function $ j(x) = 15x - 12 $ can be analyzed by breaking it down into the transformations applied to its parent function, which is $ f(x) = x $. 1. The term $ 15x $ indicates a vertical stretch by a factor of 15. 2. The term $-12$ indicates a vertical shift downward, specifically 12 units. Thus, the correct transformation of the function is a **vertical shift down 12 units**. The correct response is: **vertical shift down 12 units**.
