If a shape is translated (has it's vertex' coordinates moved/changed), then it retains its original values but just has different vertex coordinates.
Thus since DE is equal to UV, then,
DE = UV; substitution:
5=5
The correct answer to this question will be the yellow box which is <5 less than five
Answer: (C) shifts 6 units to the LEFT
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The vertex form of an absolute value equation is:
y = a |x - h| + k where;
- a is the vertical stretch (irrelevant for this problem)
- (h, k) is the vertex
Since h represents the x-coordinate and the x-axis is left to right, then h shifts the graph left or right.
- If h is negative, the graph shifts to the left.
- If h is positive, the graph shifts to the right.
x + 6 is actually x - (-6), so h is negative and the graph shifts to the left.
