Question 790793: Tell whether the graph is wider, narrower, or the same width as the graph of y = |x|.
7) y = 3/5|x-3|+7
8) y = -8|x+9|-12
9) y= -5/2|x-1|-3
Can you please help me on these? I don't really understand how to do these problems. Thank you!

Tell whether the graph is wider, narrower, or the same width as
the graph of y = |x|.
------
Notice that the right side is telling you about "y"::
------
7) y = 3/5|x-3|+7
Wider because of the (3/5)
------------------------------
8) y = -8|x+9|-12
Upside down but narrrower because of th2 -8
------------------------------
9) y= -5/2|x-1|-3
Upside down and narrower because of the -5/2
==============================
Cheers,
