Question

Below are the functions of y=|x| and y=|x|-5 how are the functions related.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D is correct.

The functions have the same shape.

The y-intercepts of y=|x| is 0, and the y-intercepts of the second function y=|x|-5 is, -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Modulus function state that a function which gives a positive output irrespective of the input.

The graph of the functions as shown below in the attachment :

The functions are; $y= |x| -5$ makes a "V'" shape much like y=|x|.

Every absolute value graph will take this same shape, as long as the expression inside the absolute value is linear.

therefore, these functions $y= |x|$ and $y= |x| -5$ have the same shape.

y-intercepts defined as the graph crosses the y-axis

i.e substitute the value of x=0 and solve for y.

For the function y = |x|

to find the y-intercepts:

substitute value of x =0 we get;

y = |0| = 0

Then, the y-intercept of the function  y=|x| is 0.

Similarly, for the function y = |x|-5

Find: y-intercept

substitute the value of x =0 we get;

y = |0| - 5 = -5

Therefore, the y-intercept of the function y=|x|-5 is -5
