failed

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the base function

The base function given is \( f(x) = |x| \).

Step 2: Analyze the given function

The function to graph is \( h(x) = |x - 2| - 7 \).

Step 3: Determine the transformations
  • The term \( |x - 2| \) indicates a horizontal shift to the right by 2 units.
  • The term \( -7 \) indicates a vertical shift downward by 7 units.

Final Answer

The transformations needed are:

  • Horizontal shift (E)
  • Vertical shift (B)
