Question

Graph y=/x/-2

Answer 1

I assume you mean this right?
\[\Large y = |x| - 2\]

Answer 2

I would graph it using something like desmos

https://www.desmos.com/calculator

Answer 3

type in `y = abs(x) - 2`

the "abs" means "absolute value function"

Answer 4

so the answer is C???

Answer 5

yeah this one

Answer 6

thank you @jim_thompson5910

Answer 7

you're welcome

Answer 8

can you help with 3 more? @jim_thompson5910

Answer 9

sure post each as a new question and tag me in it

post one at a time

Answer 10

1.Graph y=-/x-4/

Answer 11

2.write an equation for the transformation of y=/x/
A.y=/x/+2
B.y=/x/-2
C.y=/x-2/
D.y=/-2x/

Answer 12

First off, please post ONE at a time.

Answer 13

I would graph just like in the previous problem. Any ideas what to type into desmos?

Answer 14

oh sorry thought you meant post all of them 1 by 1, not post 1 answer 1 then post the other. my apology.

Answer 15

well it makes it easier to post one at a time so we don't get confused on which one we're working on currently

Answer 16

ok okay and no I have no clue on what to type for the "desmos".

Answer 17

btw, type | instead of / to mean absolute value

so instead of `y=-/x-4/`
type this `y = -|x-4|`

Answer 18

to graph `y = -|x-4|` you would type `y = -abs(x-4)` into desmos

Answer 19

whatever is in the parenthesis of the "abs" is what goes in the absolute value bars

Answer 20

umm...I cant find any place that would graph that so ima guess that it's B

Answer 21

desmos doesn't work?

Answer 22

https://www.desmos.com/calculator

Answer 23

D :/ ?

Answer 24

can you show me a screenshot of what graph you get when you type into desmos

Answer 25

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 26

why are you that zoomed out? you should zoom in until you can see the vertex a bit better

Answer 27

sorry meant to send this one

Answer 28

ok much better

Answer 29

so the answer this one is D?

Answer 30

yes this one

Answer 31

so now we're one #2 @jim_thompson5910

Answer 32

ok post that one

Answer 33

2.write an equation for the transformation of y=/x/
A.y=/x/+2
B.y=/x/-2
C.y=/x-2/
D.y=/-2x/
@jim_thompson5910

Answer 34

I'm lost. Was there a graph given here? or no?

Answer 35

no

Answer 36

do they give instructions like "shift up 2 units" or something?

Answer 37

it just want us to write an equation for the transformation of y=/x/

Answer 38

can you post a screenshot of the full problem?

Answer 39

sure @jim_thompson5910

Answer 40

ok thanks

Answer 41

you just tack on a `-2` to shift all of the original parent function 2 units down

Answer 42

so the answer is B @jim_thompson5910 ??? I don't quit understand what you mean

Answer 43

yes `y = |x| - 2`

Answer 44

now we can work on #3 and we'll be done :)) thank you @jim_thompson5910 for helping me this far
