In a translation, the general translation of y=f(x) is that y=f(x+a) if f(x) is translated by a units towards left direction or downward and y = f(x) = f(x-a) is f(x) is translated by "a" units towards right direction or upward

Hence:

Translation of y =|x|

a) 3 units up

y = | x - 3|

b) left 2 units

y = | x+2|
