Well, the vertex is: f(x) = |x - h| + k Where (h, k) is the vertex, so what's the vertex here? @DelTa-_-LeGEnD

3,5 @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Nope, you got the numbers right, but not the signs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

signs?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Positive and negative, you put positive for both, and that's wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3,-5? @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Nope

-3,5? @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Nope

OpenStudy (igreen):

Both will be negative.. Because the signs in f(x) = |x + 3| - 5 are opposite to f(x) = |x - h| + k. So we have (-3, -5)
