Learn how to graph an absolute value equation by identifying the vertex first

What is the vertex of the absolute value equation if the function is not shifted vertically?

• (3, 3)

• (0, 3)

• (3, 0)

• (0, 0)

How does the parent graph of an absolute value function move from the vertex?

• Over 1, up 1

• Over 2, up 1

• Over 1, up 2

• Over 2, up 2

What happens to the graph of an absolute value function when the 'a' value is negative?

• It shifts to the left

• It reflects over the x-axis

• It shifts to the right

• It remains unchanged

If the absolute value of 'a' is greater than 1, what effect does it have on the graph?

• It compresses horizontally

• It stretches horizontally

• It compresses vertically

• It stretches vertically

What is the slope pattern for the graph when 'a' is negative?

• Up 4 over 1

• Down 4 over 1

• Down 1 over 1

• Up 1 over 1
