Question

Write the equation that is the translation of y=|x| left 1 unit and up 2 units.

Answer 1

Y = |x| translated 1 unit left and 2 units up gives the equation
y = |x + 1| + 2

Answer 2

If you move the graph 1 unit left then you add 1 to x.
If you move the graph 2 units up then you subtract 2 from y.

y - 2= |x + 1|
