\n" ); document.write( "a) one unit up
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Add +1 to the right side:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "y = |0.5x -2|+3+1\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "y = |0.5x -2|+4\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "b) one unit down
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Add -1 to the right side:\r\n" );
