Rudy Singh · Answer 1

The two functions that defines the situation are:

f (x) = x + 5

and

f (x) = x + 8

When you plug in different values of x and graph the coordinates, you will notice that the graph as been shifted 3 units up.

So,

The best answer is:

B. the line will shift vertically up by $3.
