How are transformations of a linear function and an absolute value function similar? Provide two examples/ reasons.

I know the differences but I have no Idea what they have in similar plz help!

impatient much?

see your previous post

Did you know?

Did you know that although linear functions and absolute value functions have some distinct differences, they also share some similarities? Firstly, both linear functions and absolute value functions involve shifting the graph vertically or horizontally. For instance, if you have the linear function y = 2x + 1 and shift it 3 units to the right, the equation becomes y = 2(x - 3) + 1. Similarly, if you have the absolute value function y = |x| and shift it 2 units upwards, the equation becomes y = |x| + 2. Secondly, both types of functions can experience a change in slope. In the linear function y = ax + b, if you multiply the coefficient 'a' by a positive number greater than 1, the line becomes steeper. Similarly, in the absolute value function y = |ax|, multiplying 'a' by a positive number greater than 1 results in a steeper slope as well. While linear and absolute value functions may seem different at first, their similarities in terms of shifting the graph and changing the slope can provide a helpful foundation for understanding transformations in mathematics.
