Write an equation for the translation of y = |x|.

6.5 units up

y + 6.5 = |x|

y = |x| + 6.5

y = |6.5x|

y = |x| – 6.5

1 answer

To translate the function \( y = |x| \) upward by 6.5 units, you simply add 6.5 to the entire function. Therefore, the correct equation after the translation is:

\[ y = |x| + 6.5 \]

So the answer is: \( y = |x| + 6.5 \)
