Question

What is the vertex of y = |x + 1| ahhh i know its easy, but i'm getting it wrong.. :(

Answer 1

y = |x + 1|

y = 1*|x - (-1)| + 0

Now compare this to the form

y = a*|x-h| + k

Answer 2

what is h? what is k?

Answer 3

-1 , 0

Answer 4

good, so the vertex is (-1,0)

Answer 5

since the vertex in general is (h,k)

Answer 6

thanks:) i get it now @jim_thompson5910

Answer 7

that's great

Answer 8

you can also get it by solving y=x+1 and y=-x-1

Answer 9

oh okay, yeah thanks:)
