Question

The graph of y = |x is the solid black graph below. Which function represents the
dotted graph?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = |x+3| + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The solid black graph represents the function y = |x|.  Its vertex is at (0, 0).

In comparison, the light-colored graph vertex is 3 units to the left and 1 unit up.  Thus, the original y = |x| becomes y = |x+3| + 1
