Problem 1 Got It? What is the graph of the function y = |x| + 2?
Graph the function on the canvas. Use colors other than black.

Question 10
10.

Problem 1 Got It: How is the graph of y = |x| + 2 related to the graph of its parent function y = |x|?

Question 11
11.

Problem 1 Got It? Reasoning: Do transformations of the form y =|x|+ k affect the axis of symmetry? Explain.

You may use this pre-made Desmos graph to analyze the effects of k on the parent function. Drag the slider in the second row to see how different values of k impact the graph.

Take Note: Match each general form of a transformation of the parent absolute value function on the left with the type of transformation it represents.

You may need to zoom out to see all of the items. You can also place each item from the left column by selecting it (click it) then selecting (clicking on) the category for it.
