Question 53360
Absolute value graphs look like v's.
y=|x|  looks like this numbers added on the inside of the absolute value causes horizontal shifts in the opposite direction of the number's sign.  Numbers added on the outside of the absolute values cause a vertical shift in the same direction as the number's sign:
{{{graph(300,200,-10,10,-10,10,abs(x))}}}  
y=|x-2| looks the same only it's shifted two units to the right:
{{{graph(300,200,-10,10,-10,10,abs(x-2))}}}
y=|x-4|+1  looks the same only it's shifted 4 units right and one unit up.
{{{graph(300,200,-10,10,-10,10,abs(x-4)+1)}}}
