Question

Write the algebraic expression that matches each graph.

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Based on the shape of the graph, it's an absolute value function.

so the template for it is f(x) = |x|

From there, you can make some additions to show how much the graph has shifted from the template equation

since the graph went over to the left by 2 units and down by 2 units, this is added into the equation as follows:

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