please check my answer asap? what is the vertex of g(x)=|x+9|+3? I ended up with (9,-3).

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's incorrect

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: vertex of `y = a|x-h| + k` is `(h,k)`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910, does that mean that it would be (9,3)??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

closer but no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

compare `|x+9|` with `|x-h|` try to get them to match up

@jim_thompson5910 I think i understand, would it mean that it is (-3, 9)? Substituting -3 for x then adding -3 to 9 would equal 6, plus 3 would make it 9 again? Is that correct?
