Okay, to translate ANY graph that was ever made ever (within reason :P) to the right you must directly subtract from the x term. You can do this by imagining the x with brackets around it and then putting the term in those brackets:

We have y = |x|
So y = |(x)|
y = |(x - 2)| (we go to the right so subtract, and we want two units)
y = |x-2| (if we take away the unnecessary brackets)

This gets better when they get more complex:

y = 2|6x + 3| -1
y = 2|6(x-2) + 3| - 1
y = 2|6x - 12 + 3| -1
y = 2|6x - 9| - 1

Answer 4

Oh my goodness!!!! That is a very well-written response! Let me read it over for a second.

Answer 5

Wow that makes sense!! Thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCH!

Answer 6

The lightbulb has just gone off for me, THANK YOU!

Answer 7

So then without the brackets the answer is |x-2|?

Answer 8

Yep, that's right
