Question

What describes the graph of y = |x - 3| + 8?

Group of answer choices hurry i need this asppp

A. a ‘V’ shaped graph with vertex at (3, 8), which opens up

B. a ‘V’ shaped graph with vertex at (8, -3), which opens down

C. a ‘V’ shaped graph with vertex at (8, 3), which opens down

D. a ‘V’ shaped graph with vertex at (-3, 8), which opens up

Answer 1

The graph of y = |x - 3| + 8 is a 'V' shaped graph with the vertex at (3, 8) and it opens up.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = |x - 3| + 8 represents a 'V' shaped graph with the vertex at (3, 8) and opens up. The absolute value function |x - 3| creates the symmetric 'V' shape. Adding 8 translates the graph vertically upwards by 8 units.
