Pretend the parentheses are absolute value bars.

Question

What is the graph of y = (x) and its translation to the graph of y = (x + 3)+1?

I know I can't post the graph picture here, but I'm confuzzled on how to solve the problem. Please explain how! Thank you so much! <3

Answer 1

take it in two steps
y = │x+3│ moved y = │x│ to the left 3 units
then y = │x+3│ + 1 would move the last graph up 1 unit.

so y = │x│ , was moved 3 units to the left and 1 unit up.
