  1. Reasoning Graph the function rules below in the same coordinate plane.

    • y equals vertical line x vertical line plus 1
    • y equals vertical line x vertical line plus 4
    • y equals vertical line x vertical line negative 3

    In the function rule y equals vertical line x vertical line plus k comma  how does changing the value of k affect the graph?

  2. Reasoning Make a table of values and a graph for the function rules y equals 2 x  and y equals 2 , x squared , .  How does the value of y change when you double the value of x for each function rule?
