Question

1.)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.
2.) Write an equation for the translation of y = |x|.
2 units down.
y = |x| + 2
y = |x| – 2
y = |x – 2|
y = |–2x|

Answer 1

For the first one, which do you believe is the correct answer?

Answer 2

B

Answer 3

Not exactly

Answer 4

okay then which one

Answer 5

In general, for equations of the form y = |a| + b, the b makes the graph move up or down vertically

Answer 6

That's your hint

Answer 7

C

Answer 8

Now you're just guessing

Answer 9

Suggestion: Buy a graphing calc

Answer 10

probably because i dont know it

Answer 11

And also because your graphing calc has no batteries

Answer 12

i dont have one

Answer 13

and the answer is d correct

Answer 14

Yes, that was pretty much the only option left to choose from.

Answer 15

cool
