y=-lx+1l opens up or down? Identify vertex and tell wether wider narrower or same width as y= l xl
down, if its negative on the outside it opens down, it doesn't matter inside
oh right, but it still opens down
|dw:1319403782906:dw| vertex: (0,1) same width opens down
YES IT DOES its has a vertex
liamarie u got it
wrong polrek. there is a vertex. absolute value means any x value will go same direction. x isn't being affected (meaning it's not being x'd by anything) so it will have the same width.
the graph opens down, with the vertex at (-1,0). Same common slope as the parent function, as the coefficient in front of the absolute value is -1.
^that one's correct
remember, the vertex is just when x=0, so plug 0 in for x and solve. that'll give you the y value and the vertex.
A lot of crazy posts in this one
The general equation is \[y=a \left| x-h \right|+k\], where the vertex is (h,k)
