This video tutorial covers graphing absolute value functions, focusing on vertical and horizontal translations. It explains the characteristics of the parent function y = |x|, including its V-shape and symmetry. The tutorial demonstrates how to perform vertical translations by adjusting the value of K and horizontal translations by modifying H within the absolute value. It also discusses combining these translations and using the vertex to determine transformations from graphs.

• A circle

• A parabola

• A straight line
