Graphing Absolute Value Functions

  Graphing: y = a|x-h|=k
 When graphing an absolute value equation, your vertex will be (h,k).

*Vertical translations are shown by k:

*Horozontal translations are shown by h: it moves in the opposite direction of the indicated sign. if h is positive, then the graph moves left. if h is negative, the graph moves right.

*Vertical stretch of shrink is shown by a number in front of the absolute value signs.
