From the given problem, the figure shows the graph of f(x).
Note that translating the graph in a manner of :
[tex]f(x)+c[/tex]
will shift the graph c units upward if the sign is positive or c units downward if the sign is negative.
We are looking for the graph of f(x) - 3
Since the sign is negative, we will shift the grahp 3 units downward, the graph will be like this.
As you can see, the orginal graph intersects at the origin (0, 0). The new graph intersects at (0, -3) since we moved or shifted the graph 3 units downward.
Additional :
If f(x) is translated in a manner of f(x+c), the graph will be shifted c units to the left if c is positive and will be shifted c units to the right if c is negative.
If f(x) is transformed in a manner of -f(x), the graph will reflect over the x-axis.
If the original point is (x, y). It will become (x, -y)
