Question

what is the equation for y= -2/9|x| - 7 ; down 2

Answer 1

to translate a function down or up, add the number of units you wanna translate to the part that isn't multiplied to x.

Answer 2

in this case, down 2 units means you are subtracting 2 units from the end of the equation.

Answer 3

so, \[-2/9\left| x \right|-7 -2\], which gives you \[-2/9\left| x \right|-9\]
