How does the graph of y=\sqrt(x+2) compare to the graph of the parent square root function?
the graph is a horizontal shift of the parent function 2 units right.
the graph is a horizontal shift of the parent function 2 units left.
the graph is a vertical shift of the parent function 2 units up.
the graph is a vertical shift of the parent function 2 units down.

The graph is a horizontal shift of the function two units to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is a horizontal shift of the function two units to the left.

Remember that horizontal shifts appear as additions of a constant "c" to the x-coordinate inside the function. When the constant is negative the shift is to the right in |c| units, and when the constant is positive (like in this case) the shift is to the left in |c| units.

see below

step-by-step explanation:

x+2> 6

subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 > 6-2

x > 4

there is an open circle at 4 since is it is greater than and the line goes to the right
