Answer: (B) Explanation: If you are unsure about where to start, you could always plot some numbers down until you see a general pattern.
But a more intuitive way is to determine what happens during each transformation. A regular y = |x| will have its vertex at the origin, because nothing is changed for a y = |x| graph. We have a ray that is reflected at the origin about the y-axis.
Now, let's explore the different transformations for an absolute value graph by taking a y = |x + h| graph. What happens to the graph? Well, we have shifted the graph -h units, just like a normal trigonometric, linear, or even parabolic graph. That is, we have shifted the graph h units to its negative side (to the left).
What about the y = |x| + h graph? Well, like a parabola, we shift it h units upwards, and if h is negative, we shift it h units downwards.
So, if you understand what each transformation does, then you would be able to identify the changes in the shape's location.
Due to the high number of deaths and the subsequent population reduction, the merchants - and tradespeople in general - saw a decrease in the sales of their merchandise. Once the number of infected people by the plague reduced was reduced at the end of the Fifteenth Century, the population grew exponentially, thus creating a higher demand for services and goods.
