what equation translates y=(x) by 8 units to the right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = -8x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

Wait, is that y = (x) supposed to be the absolute value of x?

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

Is this your question? y=|x| shifted to the right 8 units.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

Either way, y=-8x is incorrect. Because it is an absolute value, shifting the equation to the right means the that we are going to have to do something else to translate it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohk

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

For example, if I want to translate the graph of y=|x| by 1.5 units to the left, I would adjust it by y=|x+1.5|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooo ohk thx

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

Tell me what you get for your answer.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

isn't left negative and right positive?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got y=(8)-x

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

@AriPotta This is an absolute value problem. and @lovebug1 not correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohk ? then idk ?
