Kindly see the explanation for the details

The graph of #y=abs(x-1)# includes the following points

#{(-4, 5), (-3, 4), (-2, 3), (-1, 2), (0, 1), (1, 0), (2, 1), (3, 2), (4, 3), (5, 4),(6, 5)....}#

Now let us elevate this graph up by 4 units so that the points are

#{(-4, 9), (-3, 8), (-2, 7), (-1, 6), (0, 5), (1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 7), (5, 8),(6, 9),....}#

This is the graph of #y=abs(x-1)+4#

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
