Describe how the graphs of y = |x| and y = |x| – 15 are related.
A. The graphs have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = |x| is 0, and the x-intercept of the second graph is –15.
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 –15.

Hint:

to graph  y = |x|-15, you shift  the entire graph of  y = |x| fifteen units down
