How do you know if the translation of a graph is vertical or horizontal?

The translation is vertical if the added term is outside the main function and horizontal if it is inside it, next to the x.
For example, y = x^2 represents a parabola, with its lowest point at (0,0). If we have the equation y = x^2 + 2 then we have translated the parabola up two units -- its lowest point is now x = 0, y = 2. But if we write y = (x + 2)^2, then we are translating two units to the left, and the lowest point is x = -2, y = 0.

Is the y axis the vertical axis?
YES it is!!! the X-axis is the horizontal one, you know, the horizon, something like that. so if you have a graph, Y is always up and down. X is always left and right. :)
How does you know that relation is a function?
One way is to try the vertical line test on a graph!
What did the derivative near the horizontal asymptote shout to the derivative near the vertical asymptote?
I don't know, what?
How you will know that the graph and the given equation into variables represent a function?
The graph or function relates a value y (in the vertcal direction) to a value x (in the horizontal direction). For each point x in the domain, there must be one and only one value y. In terms of a graph that means that a vertical line from any value of x in the domain must meet the graph in exactly place - at least once and not more than once. More than one x values can have the same y value associated with them.
How do you know when to graph left or right for the vertical line?
If the first number is negative, you go left. If the first number is positive, you go right.
What is an image shot vertical know as?
Image shot vertical is known as portrait. Horizontal is landscape.
Is the y axis the vertical axis?
YES it is!!! the X-axis is the horizontal one, you know, the horizon, something like that. so if you have a graph, Y is always up and down. X is always left and right. :)
If you are looking a graph of an quadratic equation how do you know where the solutions are?
They will be on the horizontal x axis of the graph (look for the x-intercepts).
When interpreting a distance time graph you know the object is stopped when the segment is?
horizontal

How do I know the direction of the torque acting on coil whether its vertical or horizontal?
To know the direction of the torque acting on the coil, whether the coil is vertical or horizontal, you will compare the direction of the magnetic force or its rotation to the direction of the coil. If the coil is vertical and the magnetic force is in the direction of the coil rotation, then the direction of the torque will be the same.
What did the derivative near the horizontal asymptote shout to the derivative near the vertical asymptote?
I don't know, what?
How do they know the plumb line is vertical?
Use of a plumb bob a level used on plumb rather then horizontal
What is pb and PC in welding position?
I know that PC stands for Horizontal-Vertical; although I am Unsure about pb.
Why is the last button hole in a mans shirt horizontal and not vertical?
these are the questions I'm sure we will never know...
How do you know there is no motion on a distance time-graph?
distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion
How would you gaph the equation y equals 2x minuis3?
You know that y = 2x - 3, so to draw the graph: (a) You work out where this equation meets the horizontal axis of the graph and put a mark there. (b) You also work out where it meets the vertical axis of the graph and put a mark there. You then draw a straight line through the two points which carries on on either side. For (a) the equation meets the horizontal axis when y = 0. You know that y = 2x - 3, so put y = 0 into this equation. 0 = 2x - 3 -> 3 = 2x -> x = 1.5 So the line meets the horizontal axis when x = 1.5 For (b) the equation meets the vertical axis when x = 0 So again put that into y = 2x - 3 So y = 2*0 - 3 -> y = -3 So the line meets the vertical axis when y = -3. Draw a line through these two points (1.5,0) and (0,-3) and there you have your graph.
