Use what you know about translations of functions to analyze the graph of the function
f(x) = (0.5)*-5 +8. you may wish to graph it and its parent function, y = 0.5", on the same axes
the parent function y = 0.5% is
across its domain because its base, b, is such that
done
the function, f. shifts the parent function 8 units
done
the function, f, shifts the parent function 5 units
done
