How do you graph the problem y=|x+3|-2
\n" ); document.write( "The graph of y=|x| looks like this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cabs%28x%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The +3 causes the graph to shift horizontally to the left 3 units.
\n" ); document.write( "The -2 causes the graph to shift vertically downward 2 units.
\n" ); document.write( "This causes the graph to look like this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cabs%28x%2B3%29-2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If you aren't using translastions, you can get the same result from plotting points.
\n" ); document.write( "Let me know if that's what you need.
