When performing a horizontal shift, how does the graph move if the value inside the function is positive?

• Downwards

• To the left

• Upwards

• To the right

How do vertical shifts affect the graph of an absolute value function?

• They move the graph left or right

• They move the graph up or down

• They stretch the graph vertically

• They reflect the graph over the x-axis

What happens to the graph when the value of 'a' is greater than 1?

• It shifts horizontally

• It stretches vertically

• It shrinks vertically

• It reflects over the x-axis

If 'a' is a fraction between 0 and 1, what transformation occurs?

• Reflection over the x-axis

• Vertical stretch

• Horizontal shift

• Vertical shrink
