The graph of y=|x| is a v-shaped graph that starts at the origin and continues infinitely in both the positive and negative x-directions. The graph of y=|x|+2 is the same v-shaped graph, but it has been shifted up two units so that it no longer intersects the x-axis. Finally, the graph of y=|x|-1 is a v-shaped graph that has been shifted down one unit so that it intersects the x-axis at (1,0) and (-1,0). All three graphs are symmetric with respect to the y-axis.
