Answer:

Explanation:

Note that this function resembles the absolute value function y = |x|.

The graph of y = |x| has its vertex at (0, 0) and opens up in a v-shape.

The graph of y = |x - 2| looks the same as that of y = |x|, but the entire graph has been translated 2 units to the right.

The graph of y = |x - 2| + 4 is that of y = |x - 2|, translated 4 units up.
