Question

Select the point that is on the right side of the vertex of y = |x + 4| + 3.

(–3, 4)

(–4, 3)

(–5, 4)

(–6, 5)

Answer 1

So we start with the function, \(\large y=|x|\).

If we shift the vertex UP three units, it will give us this \(\large y=|x|+3\).

From there, we'll shift it LEFT four units, giving us, \(\large y=|x+4|+3\).

So our vertex is now located at \(\large (-4,3)\).

Hmm, which one of the points listed is to the right of that vertex point?

Answer 2

So it would be (-3,4), Right?

Answer 3

Because -3 is a little bit to the right of -4 along the x-axis?
Yes very good! c:

Answer 4

Okay, thanks ! (:

Answer 5

Just make sure you can find the vertex on these types of problems :O Otherwise they can be rather tricky!

Answer 6

Alrighty (:
