Ineedhelponmymath:

y=-|x-3|-3 y=|x+3|-3 y=|x-3|-3 y=-|x+3|-3

SmokeyBrown:

The equation seems to go up and then down linearly, similar to an Absolute Value function. However, a normal Absolute Value function, like y = |x| would go down and then up, in the opposite direction. So, we know that this function must be multiplied by a negative. Also, an Absolute Value function would be normally centered on the origin (0,0). Based on this graph, it seems like the function is centered on the point (3,-3). We've made the observations that the function is based on Absolute Value, it is multiplied by a negative, and it is centered on (3,-3). Do you know how we would adjust the equation based on these details?

Ineedhelponmymath:

Do to the absolute value, it would lead to the answer is A

SmokeyBrown:

Very good. I'm not sure how you got the answer, but I think you are correct! In fact, if you plug in the values of "x" from the table, equation A will give you the correct values for "y", which is one way you can check your work possibly. Again, good job.
