Question

Answer 1

Hello again! Once again, I'm confused

Answer 2

I've literally been doing algebra ALL DAY! With NO BREAKS (I worked during lunch and dinner)

Answer 3

y = |x - h| + k
h for left/right
k for up/down

Answer 4

So it's then right 1 and down 2?

Answer 5

y = |x + 1| - 2
so h = -1 (left 1)
and k = -2 (down 2)

Answer 6

Oh so -1 means left for the h one?

Answer 7

y = |x + 1| - 2
= |x - (-1)| - 2
y = |x - h | + k

Answer 8

so h = -1
negative h means to the left

Answer 9

parent graph: y = |x| looks likethen y = |x - 3|
would be parent graph moved right 3

Answer 10

Oh okay! So then -3

Answer 11

that's where most people get confused ;)
y = |x - h| + k
so what you see as h is translated oppositely
so y = |x - 3|
^ h = 3
so move 3 to the right

Answer 12

My head is spinning lol :D

Answer 13

Oh wait! I think I understand what your saying! It's the absolute value idea, right?

Answer 14

it's more of a vertex form idea actually
like even for parabolas y = (x - h)^2 + k
if it was like y = (x - 2)^2 most people mistaken it as moving left 2
but it's the opposite, it would be right 2
so for y = |x - 3|
it would be right 3, not left 3

Answer 15

Thanks! I have a few more questions I'm gonna try myself.

I may need you to check them over though lol :D
If I do, I'll tag ya

Answer 16

sure :)
