Which answer describes the transformation of f(x)=log2(x−5)−2 from the parent function g(x)=log2 x ?
It is the graph of g(x) shifted 5 units right and 2 units down.
It is the graph of g(x) shifted 2 units right and 5 units down.
It is the graph of g(x) shifted 2 units left and 5 units down.
It is the graph of g(x) shifted 5 units left and 2 units down.
If you guys could explain ,I am not sure.
The thing that makes x - 5 = 0 tells us the horizontal translation = 5 [ positive units to the right ]
The " -2 " translates this down 2 units
So...
The parent is translated 5 units to the right and 2 units down

Is this equation kind of slope intercept form ? but set up a bit different?
