Explanation:
We want to translate the graph in the x-direction, so our final equation should look like:
Where
We are translating the graph
If we graph the original and translated graph, we can see the difference:
Original:
graph{cos(x) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
Translated:
graph{y=cos(x+pi) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
You can see the y intercept for the original equation,
