Question

How do you graph `g(x)=abs(x)-3`?

Answer 1

The graph of `y=|x|` is the pair of bisectors of the 1st and 2nd quadrants. It looks like V, with vertex at O. the graph of `|y = g(x) =|x|-3` is this graph, moved right above, through 3 units.

Explanation:

`y=|x|` represents the pair of bisectors of the 1st and 2nd quadrants

It looks like V,, with vertex at O.

`|y = g(x) =|x|-3` represents the graph obtained by moving the graph

of `y=|x|`, right above, through 3 units. The vertex is now at (3, 0).
