Question

How many units the function y = |x| - 2 is translated from the parent function?Shifted 2 units right from the originShifted 2 units left from the originShifted 2 units upwards from the originShifted 2 units downwards from the origin

Answer 1

Given:

$y=|x|-2$

Required:

We need to find the number of units the function y = |x| - 2 is translated from the parent function.

Explanation:

The parent function is

$y=|x|$

Subtracting a number from the whole function is shifting the function down from the origin.

$y=|x|$

Subtract 2 from the given, we get

$y=|x|-2$

So the function Shifted 2 units downwards from the origin

Final answer:

Shifted 2 units downwards from the origin
