Question

If the equation y = |x| is graphed and then
moved up 3 units on the y-axis, what will be
the equation of the new graph?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The new equation will be

y = abs(x) + 3

I have made a graph to show you this.

The red graph is y = abs(x)

The blue graph is y = abs(x) + 3

You need only look at the point 0,0 to see what happened. On the red graph (0,0) is the lowest point. When you add 3 to get the lowest point, you should notice that the lowest point is now (0,3)
