Question

Which graph represents y = StartRoot x minus 4 EndRoot?
On a coordinate plane, an absolute value curve opens down and to the right in quadrant 4 and starts at y = negative 4.
On a coordinate plane, an absolute value curve opens down and to the right in quadrant 1 and starts at x = 4.
On a coordinate plane, an absolute value curve opens down and to the right in quadrants 1 and 2 and starts at x = negative 4.
On a coordinate plane, an absolute value curve opens down and to the right in quadrant 1 and starts at y = 4.

Answer 1

The second option.

y = √(x − 4) is the square-root curve shifted right 4 units, so its starting point is (4, 0) and it rises to the right into quadrant I (x ≥ 4, y ≥ 0).
