What are your thoughts?

OpenStudy (mellamokatie):

Uhm probably C?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|x-2| means the graph is shifted 2 units to the right

OpenStudy (mellamokatie):

Ohh okay so then wait B? Sorry I am not good at this :/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, the -2 on the outside like that means shift 2 units down
