If the graph of y= |x| is translated so that the point (1, 1) is moved to (4,1), what is the equation of the new graph?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The new equation is y= (x-3)

Step-by-step explanation: we know that   the point (1, 1) is moved to (4,1).

So, the rule of the translation is: [tex](x,y) -----> (x+3, y)[/tex]

that means  the translation is 3 units to the right

Answer:

[tex]y=|x-3|[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent absolute function is

[tex]y=|x|[/tex]

The graph of y= |x| is translated so that the point (1, 1) is moved to (4,1). It means the rule of translation is

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow (x+3,y)[/tex]

it means the graph of y=|x| translated 3 units right. So, the new vertex of the function is (3,0).

The vertex form of an absolute function is

[tex]y=|x-h|+k[/tex]

The new vertex of the function is (3,0). Substitute h=3 and k=0 in the above equation.

[tex]y=|x-3|+0[/tex]

[tex]y=|x-3|[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation is y=|x-3|.
