Question

NEED HELP ASAP
Describe how the graphs of y= |x| and y=|x| - 15 are related.

tkhunny · Answer

The second one is 15 lower than the first.

staceyg · Answer

Hold on I'll show you the choices

anonymous · Answer

recall that the general form of a line is$$Y=mx+b$$where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept, therefore the second function is just$$Y=\left| x \right|$$shifted 15 units down

staceyg · Answer

The graphs have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = |x| is 0, and the x-intercept of the second graph is -15. Could this be the answer? @Embryo

tkhunny · Answer

"THE" x-intercept?  No.  There are two.

staceyg · Answer

So that answer but replace the " x-intercept  of the second graph" with the y-intercept?

tkhunny · Answer

Not quite making sense.

y = |x|

x-intercept (0,0)
y-intercept (0,0)

y = |x| - 15

x-intercept (15,0) and (-15,0)
y-intercept (0,-15)

Not sure what else to tell you.

staceyg · Answer

I was stating the answer choices. Would the answer be the answer I stated first but replaced with x intercpt with y?

tkhunny · Answer

You'll have to decide.  Your descriptions of the answer choices aren't meaning much, so far.

Alright, thanks anyways :)
