Multiple Choice
Describe how the graphs of y = |x| and y = |x| – 15 are related. (1 point)
The graphs have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = |x| is 0, and the x-intercept of the second graph is –15.
The graphs have the same y-intercept. The second graph is steeper than y = |x|.
The two graphs are the same.
The graphs have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = |x| is 0, and the y-intercept of the second graph is –15.
The correct answer is: The graphs have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = |x| is 0, and the y-intercept of the second graph is -15.
Write an equation for the translation of y = |x|. 2 units down.
(1 point)
y = |x| + 2 y = |x| – 2 y = |x – 2| y = |–2x|
The correct equation for the translation of y = |x| 2 units down is:
y = |x| - 2
