Answer:

bottom graph

Explanation:

f(x) = |3q-6|

because you have absolute value there are 2 possibilities

y= +(3q-6) and y= -(3q-6)

to find where the graph intersects the x-axis make y=0 because there the y coordinate is 0, so we have...

3q-6 =0 and -3q+6 =0

3q= 6 and -3q =-6

q=2 and q=2

the bottom graph has the intersection with x-axis only at 2, so is the correct one

Answer:

bottom graph shown

Explanation:

It can be helpful to rearrange the equation to either of the equivalent forms ...

f(x) = |3(x -2)|

or ...

f(x) = 3|x -2|

_____

The first of these forms represents a horizontal compression of the absolute value function by a factor of 3, then a right-shift by 2 units. This matches the bottom graph shown.

__

The second of these forms represents a horizontal right-shift by 2 units, and a vertical expansion by a factor of 3. This matches the bottom graph shown.

__

The attached graph shows the function given here along with the absolute value parent function.

_____

Additional comment

The transformations we're usually interested in are ...

g(x) = k·f(x) . . . . vertically scaled (stretched) by a factor of k

g(x) = f(kx) . . . . .horizontally compressed by a factor of k

g(x) = f(x) +k . . . shifted up by k units

g(x) = f(x -k) . . . . shifted right by k units

In many cases, as here, horizontal scaling and vertical scaling are indistinguishable as to which caused a given effect.
