Question

Graph the function y=|x+1-4

Answer 1

Answer: see graph

Explanation:

I am assuming the question should read: y = |x + 1| - 4

You can graph this using transformations or by creating a table.

Transformations:

The parent function is y = |x|

The transformation is moving the graph 1 unit to the left and 4 units down - the vertex is moved from the origin to (-1, -4)

Table:

Choose x-values and solve for y

`\begin{array}c\underline{\quad x\quad }&\underlinex+1&\underline{Coordinate}\\-1&y=|-1+1|-4&(-1,-4)\\0&y=|0+1|-4&(0,-3)\\1&y=|1+1|-4&(1,-2)\end{array}`
