Question

What is the absolute value equation for this graph?

Y = |x + 3| + 1

Y = |x + 3| - 1

Y = |x - 3| + 1

Y = |x - 3| - 1

Answer 1

y = |x-3| -1

Explanation:

The parent function has been shifted right 3 units and down 1 unit. That is f(x)=|x| has been moved to ...

y = f(x -3) -1

y = |x -3| -1 . . . . matches the last choice
