1 unit to the left of -1 on the number line is -2.
Thus, 7 units to the left of -1 is -8.
The appropriate choice is ...
... c. -8
Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
I cannot see the images, but...
y = | x | + 5
consider the absolute value function. You know that for every value of x, y will be greater than or equal to 5. this means that the y-intercept will also be the bottom of the curve.
Plug a few values in for an idea of what the graph will look like:
f(-1) = 6 (-1,6)
f(1) = 6 (1, 6)
f(-2) = 7 (-2, 7)
f(2) = 7 (2, 7)
The graph will have a minimum value at (0,5), where two lines will converge. The graph will look like a pointy cone with its point at (0,5), with two lines pointing outward and upward from this point. Confirm that the graph passes through the coordinates provided above!
