Answer 1

A. The graphs have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = | x | is 0 and the x-intercept of the second graph is –9.

B. The graphs have the same y-intercept. The second graph is steeper than y = | x | .

C. The two graphs are the same.

D. The graphs have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = | x | is 0 and the y-intercept of the second graph is –9.

A, B, C, or D? Explain please (:

Answer 2

hi. do you still need help with this problem?

Answer 3

Yes I do. (:

Answer 4

ok. what do you think the answer might be? we can work from there. Best guess.

Answer 5

I'm gonna with either A or D because the graphs appear to be of the same shape.

Answer 6

well, you have correctly eliminated two choices. :)) nice work

Answer 7

Sweet (:

Answer 8

now i am going to help you eliminate one more. look at the two graphs

Answer 9

try to look at them side by side

Answer 10

Okay, I think it's D.

Answer 11

you are correct. now why do you think so?

Answer 12

Because 0, and -9 are both y-intercepts on these graphs.

Answer 13

that is exactly right. they intercept the y axis at 0 and -9 respectively. very nice. it doesnt really appear you needed any help at all :))

Answer 14

you did really well. Is there anything else i can help you with?

Answer 15

Yes, I have one more question actually if you don't mind. (:

Sweet! Give me like one minute.
