1. Set what's between the absolute value bars =

That's the x-coordinate of the vertex.
2. Substitute that in the equation to find the y-coordinate
of the vertex:

(Shortcut for this step: the y-coordinate of the vertex is
just the number that's added to the absolute value term, in this
case , because when you substitute the x-coordinate the
absolute value term will always be )
3. The vertex is (,)
