    To write the equation of a translated line: For vertical translations upwards, replace every y variable with (y - c) where c is the number of units translated upwards. For vertical translations downwards, replace every y variable with (y + c) where c is the number of units translated downwards. These rules are equivalent to adding or subtracting c from the right hand side of the original equation.

    2.5.2 Equation of translated lines

    The following rules are used to write down the equation of the translated line.

    Vertical translations

    Rule 1: Vertical translations upwards.


    When a graph is translated vertically upwards by c units, replace every y variable in the
    original equation by (y - c).
    Note: This is the same as adding c to the RHS of the equation,
    y - c = f(x) is the same as y = f(x) + c

    Rule 2: Vertical translations downwards.


    When a graph is translated vertically downwards by c units, replace every y variable in the
    original equation by (y + c).

    Note: This is the same as subtracting c from the RHS of the equation,
    y + c = f(x) is the same as y = f(x) - c
