Question 1008305: Graph the function y=absolute value of x + 2 by translating y=absolute value of x.
Hello, this is a problem on my homework but we haven't gone over it. I think my teacher put it on there because our school district moved the test up by a week and my teacher is speed teaching. Anyways if this is on the test i need to understand it so please help, thanks!

Reference function , having critical value at x=0, because that is where the sign changes. V shaped, sharp point as a minimum.
Think of that sharp minimum point as a point of reference within the function . What happens upon translation using ? Where must be x in order for to be same value as ?
With the "translated", meaning moved, newer function, x must be so that
.
is MOVING to the LEFT by two units.
Reference graph, absolute value function
Moved absolute value function two units to the left,
