Question

Got a test tomorrow help me out :)?
How would I graph y=1/7|x+5|+2

Answer 1

then compare it to tgraph of y=|x|

Answer 2

please help!

Answer 3

the 5 in the absolute value shifts the graph to the left by 5,
the +2 shifts the equation up by 2
the 1/7 "flattens" the equation by a factor of 1/7
(for example, if x=1, abs(x) = 1, but (1/7)(abs(x))=1/7

Answer 4

could oyu do a visual? still abit lost

Answer 5

please.

Answer 6

just remember to plug in x values and solve for y. Since you are dividing by 7, finding x values that would make abs(x+5) = a value that is divisible by 7 (like 7 or 14) will make it easier to solve.
(sorry for the poor graph...it's late here...)
if it's still unclear, let me know

Answer 7

thanks you first of all.
