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?

anonymous · Answer

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

zepdrix · Answer

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

Okay, thanks ! (:

zepdrix · Answer

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

Alrighty (:
