Describe how the graphs of y = |x| and y = |x + 3| are related.
Please help i am confused and explain if you can
Answered by Steve
when x is replaced by x+3, it means the graph shifts left by 3, since 3 has to be subtracted from the new values to equal the old values.

For instance, |2| = 2
|-1+3| = |2| = 2

You have to move left 3 so that x+3 is the same as the old x.
