Question

Describe how the following absolute value function is transformed from the parent function y=lxl

Answer 1

ComparedGiven:

`y=4|x-5|-6`

Compared with the parent function y=|x|, we get

It is vertically compressed.

Here, x-5 represents the graph that shifted 5 units right to the parent function.

So, the answer is, shifted right 5.

Here, -6 represents the graph that shifted 6 units down to the parent function.

So, the answer is, shifted down 6.
