Question

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

Answer 1

y = -8x

Answer 2

thx

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

Is this your question?

y=|x| shifted to the right 8 units.

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

ohk

Answer 8

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|

Answer 9
