Graphing Absolute Values

y = a|x-h|+k

  • A negative in front of the a term flips it down.

  • When a is less than one, verticle compression. When a is greater than one, verticle stretch.

  • Negative between absolute value bars means move to the right. Positive between absolute value bars means move to the left.

  • K is the y-intercept.

  • The vertex is (h,k)
