Question

Given f(x)= |x-3|-7
a) Find the x-intercepts
b) Find the y-intercepts
c) Graph The Precise Function

Answer 1

a. Find the x-intercepts by setting y = 0 and solving for x.
0 = |x-3|-7 can you solve that for x? (You should get 2 solutions)

b. Find the y-intercept by setting x = 0 and solving for y
y = |0-3|-7

c. Have you done transformations of graphs yet? Do you know what the basic graph y=|x| looks like? This is just 2 transformations on that graph (a horizontal shift right, then vertical shift down).

Answer 2

Thank YOU! :D I figured that out thankfully later with the graph I remembered my transformation graphs
