You may be wondering, “hey, Mouse, why the hell are you throwing out all we learned with linear equations.

Isn’t b=-3 so shouldn’t it be crossing the y-axis there? What the hell is 7 there for? Can’t we just add it to -3 and he done with it?”

I’d say, estute observation.

Imagine the linear equation as an egg. Put said imaginery egg into a cabinet and close it.

Half the rules don’t apply to this so forget linear equation (y=mx + b) stuff for a hot second.

Perfect! Now you can learn about shifting graphs.

There’s 2 ways do it:
