Answer:

The x intercept would be -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get your numbers into slope intercept form, y = mx + b. This would be y = -1/2x - 2. Then, replace y for 0, which would be 0 = -1/2x - 2. Add 2 on both sides to get 2 = -1/2x. then, multiply each side by -2, you end up with -4 = x, which means -4 is your x intercept.

Q # 1 Graph the function Y = |X + 2| - 3

First of all we know the Absolute Value Function that is:

$\left | x \right |= \left \{ {{x \ \ \ \ x \geq 0} \atop {-x \ \ \ \ x\ \textless \ 0}} \right.$

This is called the Parent Function of the Absolute Value Function.

From the equation:

$y=\left | x+2 \right |-3$

The term:

$\left | x+2 \right |$

means that the the Parent Function is shifted two units to the left.

On the other hand, the term:

$-3$

means that the function $\left | x+2 \right |$ is shifted three units downward. So the result is the graph shown below
