Answer

Refer to the graph below. The graph involves a $2$-unit upward shift of the parent function $f(x)=|x|$.

Work Step by Step

Create a table of values then plot each ordered pair and connct them using a line (a V-shaped graph must be formed). Refer to the graph above. Recall: The graph of the function $y=f(x) +k$ involves a vertical shift of $|k|$ units (upward when $k\gt0$, downward when $k\lt0$) of the parent function $f(x)$. The given function has $f(x)=|x|$ as its parent function, and can be written as $y=f(x)+2$. Thus, its graph involves a $2$-unit shift upward of the parent function $f(x)=|x|$.
