AThe historical assortment
BThe hospitable apartment
CThe horizontal asymptote
DThe horizontal accountant
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The horizontal asymptote
1. Translating a graph moves everything attached to it.
2. The asymptote is part of the picture, not a fixed line on the page.
3. The horizontal asymptote also shifted down 2 units.
4. Recognising that pattern lets other graphs be drawn by translation.
