Explanation:

We want to get the vertex of the graph of f(x) = |x + 5| - 6.

The vertex is (-5, -6)

The vertex of an absolute value function:

f(x) = |x - a| + c

Is at the value of x such that the argument of the absolute value part, x - a, is equal to zero.

So in our case:

f(x) = |x + 5| - 6

First, we must solve x + 5 = 0

x = -5

Now to get the y-value of the vertex, we just evaluate the function in x = -5

f(5) = |-5 + 5| - 6 = -6

Then the vertex is at (-5, -6)
