Answer:
y = |x+1.5|
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with the graph of y = |x|. To shift it left by 1.5 units, replace x with x+1.5.
General rules for shifting graphs:
- Shift y = f(x) up by a units: y = f(x) + a
- Shift y = f(x) down by a units: y = f(x) - a
- Shift y = f(x) left by a units: y = f(x + a)
- Shift y = f(x) right by a units: y = f(x - a)
