Horizontal and Vertical translations can transform f(x) to g(x).
Equations to transform f(x) to g(x) are: g(x) = f(x) + k, and g(x) = f(x + k).
In vertical translation k = 18, and horizontal translation k = 6.
Solution
Equations of the two st. lines
Select two points on the line f(x) viz. (1,2), (2,5).
The equation of the line f(x) is
[tex]\frac{y-2}{x-1} = \frac{5-2}{2-1} \Rightarrow \mathbf{y=3x-1}.[/tex]
Select two points on the line g(x) viz. (-5,2), (-4,5).
The equation of the line g(x) is
[tex]\frac{y-2}{x+5} = \frac{5-2}{-4+5} \Rightarrow \mathbf{y=3x+17}.[/tex]
Ways to transform
The two lines, f(x) and g(x), are parallel to each other so their orientation w.r.t. each other is not changed. f(x), thus, can be translated to obtain g(x).
The translation of f(x) can be done in two ways: Vertical translation, and Horizontal translation.
Horizontal translation
f(x) can be translated horizontally to obtain g(x) by the relation of type g(x) = f(x + k).
Using the above relation for the two lines,
3x + 17 = 3(x + k) -1 ⇒ k = 6.
The horizontal translation relation is g(x) = f(x + 6).
Vertical translation
Vertical translation can be done with the relation g(x) = f(x) + k.
Using the above relation for the two lines,
3x + 17 = 3x - 1 + k ⇒ k = 18.
The vertical translation relation is g(x) = f(x) + 18.
The two transformation relations are: g(x) = f(x + 6), and g(x) = f(x) + 18.
