Question

Write an equation of the graph:

#1 y = |x| translated two units to the left
#2 y = |x| translated two units downward

Answer 1

1. To translate to the left, add to x.
The equation is: y = |x + 2|

2. To translate down, add to y.
The equation is: y + 2 = |x| OR y = |x| - 2 (subtract 2 from each side)

Hope this helps!
