Write your function in the form y=a|x−h|+ky=a|x−h|+k. Do not include spaces.
y=−2∣x−6∣+0
Solution
The given function representing the table and graph is:
This is in the form , where:
- controls the vertical stretch and reflection,
- shifts the graph horizontally to the right,
- shifts the graph vertically, but since it’s 0, there is no vertical shift.
Would you like more details or have any questions?
Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- How does changing the value of affect the shape of the graph?
- What would happen if were negative in the function?
- Can you identify the vertex of the absolute value graph from the function?
- How would adding a non-zero value shift the graph vertically?
- How does the absolute value function differ from a quadratic function?
Tip: The vertex of an absolute value function in the form is always located at .
