Answer:

k = 2

Explanation:

in such a case we look immediately at the cases y = 0 and/or x = 0

only if that does not lead us to an answer, do we need to look further.

y = 0, that means according to the graph that x = -2.

so, we have

0 = |x + k| = |-2 + k|

that can only be the case, if k = 2

and we are done.
