describe how the graph of y=|x-2| is related to the parent graph.
-----------------------
The parent graph is y = |x| which looks like this:
graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cabs%28x%29%29
---------------------
y = |x+2| shifts the parent graph 2 units to the left:
graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cabs%28x%2B2%29%29
==============================================
