Question

Which equation translates y = |x| by 8 units to the right?

Answer 1

The answer is y=|x-8|

Answer 2

Hi, the correct answer is
`y =\left|x-\ 8\right|`

Explanation:

If you want to translate y = |x| by 8 units to the right, first you can check what value you have when x = 0.

If x=0, y=0 then, if you want to translate the equation 8 units to the right, the equation has to move negative on the x-axis, so when y = 0, x = -8.

Solution:
`y =\left|x-\ 8\right|`
