General Questions

What is the vertex of this equation: y = 3|x - 6| + 14?

1.

(14, 6)
(7, 3)
(6, 14)
(3, 14)

What is the line of symmetry of this equation: y = |x + 4|?

2.

y = 4
y = -4

x = 4

x = -4

What is the best absolute value function for this vertex: (3, 5)?

3.

y = |x - 3| + 5
y = |x - 5| + 5
y = 3| x | +5
y = 5|x - 3|

4.

when | a | < 1
when | a | > 1
when | a | = 1
never

Match this equation with its graph: y = 3|x - 4| + 1
