Suwanda draws a triangle on the coordinate grid and shifts it 2 units to the right. What function can Suwanda write to demonstrate this transformation?(1 point)

Responses

f(x)=2−x
f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 2 minus x

f(x)=x−2
f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals x minus 2

f(x)=x+2
f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals x plus 2

g(y)=y+2

1 answer

To shift a triangle (or any geometric figure) 2 units to the right on a coordinate grid, you need to adjust the x-coordinate of the points in the shape. The transformation function for shifting right is given by:

\( f(x) = x - 2 \)

This means that for every x-value in your original triangle, you will replace it with \( x - 2 \) in order to shift the triangle 2 units to the right.

So the correct response is:

f(x) = x - 2
