Problem below :( @goformit100

OpenStudy (sheraz12345):

A i guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=!x+4! as you move 4 points on x-axis just..

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A translation in x is a horizontal translation. When x is replaced by x - h, the translation is h units horizontally. It is to the right if h is positive and to the left if h is negative.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

@lilia222 How much did this graph translate? How many units and left or right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= |x+4|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Incorrect. How about just answer my question above to start with.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In all honesty, I don't know.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok. Maybe you need to see the graph of y = |x| |dw:1404674176977:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok. Look at my graph above. That is the graph of the relation y = |x|. Now compare the given graph to mine. That is what the problem is asking you to do. They assumed you knew what the graph of y = |x| looks like.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Notice that in your problem, the v-shaped graph has moved horizontally.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I didn't. It moved right 4 on the x axis.. x= +4
