Which equation describes the graph?
answer options:
y=-|x|+2
y=-|x|-2
y=-|x+2|
y=-|x-2|

Y=-|x-2|

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which equation matches the graph, take 1 or 2 values of the line on the graph and enter the X and Y values of those points in the equations to see if they match

One good strategy is to take points that are along the axis. I'll first pick (1,-1) and will use (0,-2) to validate if one equation matches (1,-1) first.

Y=-|x|+2

for (1,-1) => -|1| + 2 = = -1 + 2 = 1 NO, should be -1

Y=-|x|-2

for (1,-1) => -|1| - 2 = = -1 - 2 = -3 NO, should be -1

Y=-|x+2|

for (1,-1) => -|1 + 2| = = -|1 + 2| = -3 NO, should be -1

Y=-|x-2|

for (1,-1) => -|1 - 2| = = -|-1 | = -1 YES

for (0,-2) => -|0 - 2| = = -|-2| = -2 YES

hans did not square the 40-unit side; he merely multiplied it by 2.   incorrect.
