Question

On each coordinate plane, the parent function f(x) = |x| is represented by a dashed line and a translation is represented by a solid line. Which graph represents the translation g(x) = |x + 2| as a solid line? Why is it C???

Answer 1

The adding a value to x shifts the graph that many places to the left.

In g(x) you are adding 2 to x, so the graph moves 2 units to the left.
