Answer:
The function with blue line (see attachment) represents the graph of [tex]f(x) = -4\cdot |x|[/tex] after it is translated 3 units down.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically speaking, a translation in the y-direction is defined by the following expression:
[tex]g(x) = f(x) + k[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]g(x)[/tex] - Resulting function.
[tex]f(x)[/tex] - Original function.
[tex]k[/tex] - Translation factor ([tex]k > 0[/tex] - Translation in the +y direction/[tex]k< 0[/tex] - Translation in the -y direction).
If we know that original function is translated 3 units down and [tex]f(x) = -4\cdot |x|[/tex], then the resulting function is:
[tex]g(x) = -4\cdot |x|-3[/tex]
Lastly, we graph both original and resulting functions with the help of a graphing tool, whose outcome is presented in the image attached below:
Please notice that the red line represents the original function, whereas the blue line represents the resulting function.
