Question

Write the equations, after translating the graph of y = |x+2|: one unit up,

Answer 1

y = |x+2| + 1

Explanation:

The equation will be y = |x+2| + 1.

By translating the graph one unit up, the equation will simply change by adding +1 to the graph, outside of the absolute value part.

Answer 2

y = |x + 2| + 1

Explanation:

Parent Graph: f(x) = a|bx + c| + k

a is vertical stretch/shrink

b is horizontal stretch/shrink

c is horizontal movement left/right

k is vertical movement up/down

Since we are given an equation and we want to move it 1 unit up (vertical movement up), we only manipulate k:

y = |x + 2| + k

k = 1

y = |x + 2| + 1
