In what direction is the function translated?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

upwards..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's on the negative side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not totally sure-

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

It is translated 2 units to the left, yeah?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! Yeah. It is.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

In the form of the absolute value equation \(\Large y=|x-h|+k\), h represents horizontal translation, so you would plug in -2 for h, and get |x + h|. Understand?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

|x+2|, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. I get it now. Thank for the help!!
