Ok so the first step is to determine slope, what is the slope of this graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyway the slope question is pointless because none of the answer choices have it but nontheless thats where you want to start if you have no answer choices

Keep in mind that in transformations anything inside with the x affects shift on the x axis and anything outside the x affects the y For ex. y=(x+3) will shift the graph y=x 3 to the LEFT It will shift it in the negative direction if positive and positive direction if negative So what do you think here in the problem?

Easy way to solve this; Put the value of -4 in this function and try solving it. For example, for choice A, we get the answer |-4+2| =2. Which works. Put the value of -2 in it, you get the value of y =0 as |-2+2| = 0. This equation represents the graph

OpenStudy (princeevee):

so its C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The 2 and 0 you get by solving the equation are values of y, which you can confirm by referring to the graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, its A. I just solved it right here for you.

OpenStudy (princeevee):

sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You were close princeevee Keep in mind as I said the graph moved in a negative direction Therefore it is PLUS 2

Also, we are lucky. When we tried putting the values in choice 1, we get the answer. You should try doing it for every option
