@newwar Go over to Desmos.com and graph the equation. See attachment.

Here is a link to the Desmos Quick Start Guide https://desmos.s3.amazonaws.com/desmos_quickstart.pdf

OpenStudy (newwar):

ok

Directrix (directrix):

Look at the graph I posted. Do you see the vertex? If so, read the coordinates off the graph.

OpenStudy (newwar):

is it -1,-6

Directrix (directrix):

Look again at the coordinates of the vertex of this

Directrix (directrix):

This is the question to be answered: What are the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of f(x)=−3|x−1|

Directrix (directrix):

>. is it -1,-6 Not corrrect

OpenStudy (newwar):

ok but are those coordinates @Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

Are the coordinates (-1, -6) coordinates of a point on the graph of y = −3|x−1| ? Evaluate the function and see. Does -6 = -3 | -1 −1 | ? Yes or No? @newwar

Directrix (directrix):

Does -6 = -3 * (-2) Does -6 = + 6

Directrix (directrix):

How far to the right of zero on the x-axis is the vertex point?

OpenStudy (newwar):

yes it dose

OpenStudy (newwar):

sorry for the late responses my internet connection keeps messing up

Directrix (directrix):

Does -6 = + 6 No. The point (-1, -6) does not lie on the graph. So, forget all about (-1,-6).

Directrix (directrix):

Return to this graph. Look at this graph and read off the coordinates of the vertex point.

OpenStudy (newwar):

ok so -1,-6 is irreverent

Directrix (directrix):

Correct. I don't know where you got it but throw it out.

Directrix (directrix):

Look at the graph attachment. How far to the right of zero on the x-axis is the blue point?

Directrix (directrix):

Do you see the blue point?

OpenStudy (newwar):

1 point

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, one blue point.

OpenStudy (newwar):

so is it just 1

Directrix (directrix):

The x-coordinate is 1. The point is on the x-axis and has y-coordinate 0. The coordinates of the vertex point are (1, 0)

OpenStudy (newwar):

thank you @Directrix
