Question

Write the function whose graph is the graph of y= |x| but is translated 4 units upward

Answer 1

y = |x|+4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we want to translate 4 spaces up in the y direction, we need to modify the y value.

so:

As "Y=4" is equal to "y-4=0"

We can do the same but inside the y = |x| equation.

Y-4 = |x|

adjust

Y= |x| + 4
