We get it in the form y = a|x-h|+k has vertex (h,k), which is the point at the V. So we get y = 3|x-3| + 6 in the form y = a|x-h| + k y = 3| x-3| + 6 Factor out inside the absolute value y = 3| (x-6)| + 6 y = 3· |x-6| + 6 y = |x-6| + 6 Compare that to y = a|x-h| + k which has vertex (h,k) a = , h=6, k=6, so the vertex is (6,6) We get two points, one on each side of the vertex (6,6) and draw the V-shaped graph The graph is: Edwin
