Answer 1

Answer:

D on edgu

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

See attached picture

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph an absolute value, find the vertex from $f(x) = a|x-h|+k$ where (h,-k) is the vertex. Here (h,-k) is (-3, -2). Then test two points around it like x=-5 and -1.

$f(x) = -0.5|-5+3|-2 = -0.5(2) -2 = -1-2 = -3$

Plot (-5,-3).

$f(x) = -0.5|-1+3|-2 = -0.5(2) -2 = -1-2 = -3$

Plot (-1,-3).

Connect in V shape.
