The function y = log (x) is translated 1 unit right and 2 units down. which is the graph of the translated function? on a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (negative 1, negative 5) and curves up into quadrant 1. it approaches y = 1. on a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (1, negative 4) and curves upwards. it approaches y = negative 1. on a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (negative 1, negative 1) and curves up into quadrant 1. it approaches y = 5. on a coordinate plane, a curve starts at (1, negative 3) and curves up into quadrant 1. it approaches y = 5.
