Answer:


g(x)=-(3)/(10)|x|-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Translations

For
a > 0


f(x)-a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units down}


y=a\:f(x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{stretched parallel to the y-axis by a factor of}\:a


y=-f(x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{reflected in the} \: x \textsf{-axis}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parent function:
f(x)=|x|

From inspection of the graph, the transformed function has been reflected in the x-axis.


\implies -f(x)=-|x|

The vertex of the parent function is the origin (0, 0). The vertex of the transformed function is at (0, -7). Therefore, there has been a translation of 7 units down.


\implies -f(x)-7=-|x|-7

From inspection of the graph, we can see that it has been stretched parallel to the y-axis:


\implies -a\:f(x)-7=-a|x|-7

The line goes through point (10, -10)

Substituting this point into the above equation to find
a:


\implies -a|10|-7=-10


\implies -10a=-3


\implies a=(3)/(10)

Therefore,


\implies g(x)=-(3)/(10)|x|-7

Answer:


\large \boxedx-0\right

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value of a graph formula:

  • y = a |x -h| + k

Identify the vertex : (h, k) = (0, -7)

As the graph opens downward, take negative/fall coordinates.

Two points: (0, -7), (10, -10)


\sf Find \ slope \ (a) : \sf \ (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2- x_1) \ = \ (-10-(-7))/(10-0) \ = -0.3

Put them together:
\bf y = -0.3|x - 0| -7 \ \ \ \approx \ \ y = -0.3|x| - 7
