Below are the functions of y = |x| and y = |x| – 5. How are the functions related?

Question

A. The functions have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = |x| is 0, and the y-intercept of the second function is 5.
B. The functions have the same y-intercept. The second function is steeper than y = |x|.
C. The two functions are the same.
D. The functions have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = |x| is 0, and the y-intercept of the second function is –5.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. The functions have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = |x| is 0, and the y-intercept of the second function is –5.
