Question

Describe how the graph would move from the parent function: y = |x+4| - 12

Answer 1

The graph moves 4 right and 12 down.

Explanation:

So let me rewrite the function into all variables:

y = |x + z| + a

If z goes up, the graph moves right.

If z goes down, the graph moves left.

If a goes up, the graph moves up

If a goes down, the graph moves down.

The graph moves 4 right and 12 down.
