Question

Graph the function g(x)=-|x+1| using a coordinate graph plane

Answer 1

g(x) = |x| (the parent graph) looks like https://lh3.ggpht.com/_F6M745sbI3g/TI-Re7FDUwI/AAAAAAAAABM/6Q-oNeWjmxI/s1600/absolute+value.gif

how it moves or flips is determined by g(x) = a|x-h|+k
" a " determines flipped and slope
point (h, k) is the vertex
so when a is negative it flips upside down
and g(x)=-|x+1| -> g(x) = -|x-(-1) |
so h = -1
which means that vertex would be at point (-1, 0)

Answer 2

thank you :)

Answer 3

f(x) = |x|


f(x) = |x+1|


f(x) = -|x+1|

Answer 4

thank you both :)
