\

First find the minimum point of the graph.

\

Since absolute value function can not be negative, the minimum point of the

\

graph is where \"\".\"\"

\
\

The original function is \"\"

\

Set original function \"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"             (Add 1 to each side)

\

\"\"                   (Additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                                (Additive identity property: \"\")\"\"

\

Next make at table, fill out the table with values for x > 1 and  x < 1.

f(x) = |x - 1|

First, draw a co-ordinate plane.

\

Locate the points on co-ordinate plane and draw the graph through these points.

Observe the graphs, both graphs have same shape and points on \"\" are 1 units right than the points on \"\".

\

The graph of  \"\" is the graph of \"\"and translated 1 units right.\"\"

\

 The graph of  \"\" is the graph of \"\"and translated 1 units right.
