Write the expression for when you translate the graph of
y = |0.5x -2|+3
a) one unit up

Add +1 to the right side:

y = |0.5x -2|+3+1

y = |0.5x -2|+4

b) one unit down

Add -1 to the right side:

y = |0.5x -2|+3-1

y = |0.5x -2|+2

c) one unit to the left

Replace x by (x+1) 

y = |0.5(x+1) -2|+2

y = |0.5x+0.5-2|+2

y = |0.5x-1.5|+2

d) one unit to the right

Replace x by (x-1) 

y = |0.5(x-1) -2|+2

y = |0.5x-0.5-2|+2

y = |0.5x-2.5|+2
