Question

Identify the translation of the parent function for y=|x|+2

Answer 1

Vertical shift: 2 units up.

Step-by-step explanation

The parent function is

`y = |x|`

The transformation applied to this function is of the form:

`y = |x| + k`

This is a vertical shift of the parent function by k units, upwards.

Hence,

`y = |x| + 2`

is a translation of the parent function up by 2 units.
