Since you haven't provided the graph, I'll explain each one and you choose the one suiting your given.
<u>The parent modulus function is:</u>
g(x) = |x|
It is centered at the origin and opens upwards.
A coefficient inside the modulus |x+k| means that the function is shifted along the x-axis
If "k" is <u>positive</u>, the shift will be to the <u>left</u>. If "k" is <u>negative</u>, the shift will be to the <u>right</u>.
A coefficient outside the modulus |x| + h means that the function is shifted along the y-axis
If "h" is <u>positive</u>, the shift will be <u>upwards</u>. If "h" is <u>negative,</u> the shift will be <u>downwards</u>.
<u>Now, let's check each of the options:</u>
<u>g(x) = |x+4| - 2 :</u>
This function is shifted 4 units to the left and 2 units down. It will be centered at (-4,-2). Check the blue graph in the attachment.
<u>g(x) = |x-4| - 2 :</u>
This function is shifted 4 units to the right and 2 units down. It will be centered at (4,-2). Check the black graph in the attachment.
<u>g(x) = |x-2| - 4 :</u>
This function is shifted 2 units to the right and 4 units down. It will be centered at (2,-4). Check the red graph in the attachment.
<u>g(x) = |x-2| + 4 :</u>
This function is shifted 2 units to the right and 4 units up. It will be centered at (2,4). Check the green graph in the attachment.
All 4 graphs are shown in the attached picture.
Hope this helps :)
