What is the y-coordinate of the vertex of y = |-3x + 6| - 2 ?

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

A. -2 B. zero C. 1 D. 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's D.

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

theres a few other questions

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-coordinate or y-intercept?

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

y coordinate

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

im not good with math.. those words dont help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I gave you the answer.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

they say giving a direct answer is a crime in openstudy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It will be -2 since the lowest value |-3x+6| reaches is zero, since absolute values are never negative. And the vertex of such an absolute value function occurs on the axis of symmetry, which is where the absolute value part is zero. xjakester is right

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

really?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you will never be good at math if you only want answers and not how to do it. I have read you say that in three other problems... "im not good with math.. those words dont help me" That sir is a cop out

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

i seriously dont understand it. i cant learn it. people have spent hours trying to get me to understand but i just cant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ehuman, some people aren't good with math as you aren't good with spelling and or are able to type grammatically correct. Many people have flaws, it's sometimes best to help and move on. Not provoke and help.

Sorry about your presumption jake, I've seen people hand him the answer and he replied, those words don't help me I don't know math, I just need the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's because he's doing an online class. With online classes you're not going to need to know it again. They are set up so you answer and pass the class.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and fail the test that is coming

OpenStudy (beccaboo333):

yeah and im not looking for the direct answer. sometimes explanations can work. its only math i cant understand. everything before algebra 2 i got.. so stop questions done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's also, and or just homework, which he'll endure the punishment of not knowing on his own.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feel for him, I think he is capable of more than he thinks he is.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i knw beccaboo he is brilliant, lets continue helping him do the next problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I understand that everyone learns at different paces. Step one is to stop saying I can't and see how much you can.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sorry, becca is she lol sorry @beccaboo333 :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok rant over lets help

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
