To graph the function $y = f(x) + 2$, follow these steps:

1. Start with the graph of $y = f(x)$:

   • This is the original function you are given. You can plot this function first, if known.

2. Apply the vertical shift:

   • The function $y = f(x) + 2$ represents a vertical shift of the graph of $y = f(x)$ by 2 units upward. This means every point on the graph of $y = f(x)$ will move 2 units higher on the y-axis.

For example, if the original point on the graph of $y = f(x)$ was $(x_1, y_1)$, then after the transformation it will become $(x_1, y_1 + 2)$.

If you want me to visualize a specific graph for $f(x)$, you can describe the function $f(x)$, and I can provide the graph of $y = f(x) + 2$ as well.

Would you like further details or any specific function for $f(x)$?

Here are 5 relative questions based on this topic:

1. What is the general effect of shifting a graph vertically or horizontally?
2. How does the transformation $y = f(x) + 2$ affect the symmetry of the original function?
3. What are the differences between vertical and horizontal shifts?
4. How would $y = f(x) - 2$ transform the graph of $f(x)$?
5. How can vertical shifts affect the domain and range of a function?

Tip: Shifting a function vertically by adding or subtracting a constant does not change the x-values; it only alters the y-values of the graph.
