GIvent the equation:
y = | x |
Shifted 9 units down.
Determine the equation of the new graph.
Solution:
The new equation can be determined by basing from the formula, g (x) = f (x) + k; whereas f(x) is shifted k units vertically. In our case, since the graph is shifted downwards, then we simply subtract 9 to the function outside the absolute value sign.
y = | x | - 9
Final answer:
y = | x | - 9
