$y$ $y$ has the standard graph of $| x |$ $absx$ shifted by 9 units positive ("Up") on the $y -$ $y-$ axis.

$y = | x | + 9$ $y=absx+9$

Consider the standard graph of $| x |$ $absx$ below.

graph{absx [-41.1, 41.07, -20.54, 20.55]}

Then, $y$ $y$ has this standard graph shifted by 9 units positive ("Up") on the $y -$ $y-$ axis, as below.

graph{absx+9 [-41.1, 41.07, -20.54, 20.55]}

How do you graph y=|x|+9y=absx+9 ?
