Question

Find the number of units the function y = |x| - 5 is translated from the parent function.Move 5 units downwards from the originMove 5 units upwards from the originMove 5 units right from the originMove 5 units left from the origin

Answer 1

Move 5 units downwards from the origin.

EXPLANATION :

Note that if a parent function f(x) is translated to f(x) - c, the graph moves c units downwards.

From the problem, we have y = |x| - 5

Therefore, the graph moves 5 units downwards.
