Question

Write an equation represented by the graph shown !

Answer 1

y=abs(x+1.5)

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = |x+1.5|

Explanation:

Start with the graph of y = |x|. To shift it left by 1.5 units, replace x with x+1.5.

General rules for shifting graphs:

• Shift y = f(x) up by a units: y = f(x) + a
• Shift y = f(x) down by a units: y = f(x) - a
• Shift y = f(x) left by a units: y = f(x + a)
• Shift y = f(x) right by a units: y = f(x - a)
