Graphing Absolute Value Functions

Match the following vocabulary terms to their definition:

• vertical

• pull

• horizontal

• squish

• compress

• side to side

• stretch

• up and down

If the "a" value is greater than (>) 1, what kind of transformation will happen?

• vertical stretch by a factor of 1

• vertical compress by a factor of 1

• reflection across the x-axis

• horizontal shift to the right

If the "a" value is less than (<) 1 and greater than (<) 0, what kind of transformation will happen?

• vertical stretch by a factor of 1

• vertical compress by a factor of 1

• reflection across the x-axis

• horizontal shift to the right

If the "a" value is less than (<) 0, what kind of transformation will happen?

• vertical stretch by a factor of 1

• vertical compress by a factor of 1

• reflection across the x-axis

• horizontal shift to the right

If the "h" value is positive, what kind of transformation will happen?

• vertical stretch by a factor of 1

• vertical compress by a factor of 1

• reflection across the x-axis

• horizontal shift to the right by "h" units

If the "h" value is negative, what kind of transformation will happen?

• vertical stretch by a factor of 1

• horizontal shift to the left "h" units

• reflection across the x-axis

• horizontal shift to the right by "h" units

If the "k" value is positive, what kind of transformation will happen?

• vertical stretch by a factor of 1

• horizontal shift to the left "h" units

• vertical shift up by "k" units

If the "k" value is negative, what kind of transformation will happen?

• vertical shift down by "k" units

• horizontal shift to the left "h" units

• vertical shift up by "k" units

• horizontal shift to the right by "h" units
