Question

What equation is represented in the graph?

a) y= x^2+1
b) y= x^2-1
c) y= 2x+1
d) y= |x| +1​

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

The parent graph of the one shown is the absolute value, since in the first quartile it is the line y=x and in the second quartile it is a reflection across the x axis. But since it is risen one unit, the new equation is y=|x|+1, or choice D. Hope this helps!
