Multiple Choice
Describe how the graphs of y = |x| and y = |x| – 15 are related.
A. The graphs have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = |x| is 0, and the x-intercept of the second graph is –15.
B.
The graphs have the same y-intercept. The second graph is steeper than y = |x|.

C. The two graphs are the same.
D. The graphs have the same shape. The y-intercept of y = |x| is 0, and the y-intercept of the second graph is –15.

Answer:

D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph of that sort will make a perfectly mirrored "V" shape, and with no offset, the bottom point will be on the y axis.  This means that the first equation will intercept the y axis at zero, the second will intercept the y-axis at -15.

"A" may seem correct also, as the second graph will intercept the x-axis at -15, but it is not complete, as it will intercept that axis at +15 as well.
