Match the following. Use the general absolute value equation as a guide: y = a∣x - h∣ + k

• ...the graph gets thinner

• if "a" is a whole number...

• flips the graph over

• the "k"

• moves the graph up/down

• if "a" is a fraction...

• moves the graph left/right

• the "h"

• ...the graph gets wider

• "-a"

Which function is graphed?

• f(x) = -|2x - 5| + 5

• f(x) = -|x - 3| - 3

• f(x) = -2|x + 3| + 5

• f(x) = -2|x + 5| - 3
