The video tutorial explains how to graph an absolute value equation by understanding transformations. It covers the identification of transformations using H and K values, determining the new vertex, and graphing the transformed function. The process involves shifting the vertex and following a pattern to plot additional points, resulting in the new graph of the absolute value function.

What is the purpose of understanding transformations when graphing an absolute value equation?

• To change the color of the graph

• To calculate the area under the curve

• To identify how the graph shifts in position

• To determine the slope of the line

How do you find the new vertex of an absolute value function?

• By using the opposite of H and K values

• By rotating the graph 90 degrees

• By adding the coefficients of X and Y

• By multiplying the original vertex by 2

What is the effect of H and K on the graph of an absolute value function?

• H shifts the graph vertically, K shifts it horizontally

• Both H and K shift the graph diagonally

• H shifts the graph horizontally, K shifts it vertically

• H and K do not affect the graph

When graphing the transformed function, what pattern should you follow to plot points?

• Over three, up three

• Over one, down one

• Over two, up two

• Over one, up one

How many points are typically needed to graph the transformed absolute value function?

• All possible points

• Exactly ten points

• A few points on each side

• Only one point
