Answer: (B)
Explanation: If you are unsure about where to start, you could always plot some numbers down until you see a general pattern.

But a more intuitive way is to determine what happens during each transformation.
A regular y = |x| will have its vertex at the origin, because nothing is changed for a y = |x| graph. We have a ray that is reflected at the origin about the y-axis.

Now, let's explore the different transformations for an absolute value graph by taking a y = |x + h| graph.
What happens to the graph?
Well, we have shifted the graph -h units, just like a normal trigonometric, linear, or even parabolic graph. That is, we have shifted the graph h units to its negative side (to the left).

What about the y = |x| + h graph?
Well, like a parabola, we shift it h units upwards, and if h is negative, we shift it h units downwards.

So, if you understand what each transformation does, then you would be able to identify the changes in the shape's location.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever 2 quantities (suppose a and b) are inversely proportional to each other, we can write an proportionality equation (with k as proportional constant) as:

$a=\frac{k}{b}$
