Question

What would this been? I don't understand how to work this.

Which of the following describes how to translate the graph y = |x| to obtain the graph of y = |x + 7|?
A. 7 units up
B. 7 units down
C. 7 units left
D. 7 units right

Answer 1

if you think about it, one way to look at the problem is that you're keeping your graph in the same place but moving the coordinate axis to the right 7 units. So if the axis moved 7 to the right, but the graph stayed still, what would the position of the graph be relative to the new axis?

Answer 2

Okay I think I see how it is done thank you for the help :)

Answer 3

so what did you get? :)
