Question

What is the vertex point of y = - |x+4| - 7? Enter your answer as an ordered pair, e.g. (1,2).

Answer 1

(-4, -7).

Explanation:

The graph of y= |x + 4| (absolute values) is V shaped with the vertex at (-4, 0) . y = -| x + 4| inverts the graph about the x axis, the vertex remaining at (-4, 0).

The - 7 moves the graph 7 units down

So the vertex point is (-4, -7).
