The graph of the absolute value parent function is shifted two units left and five units down,

then vertically stretched by a factor of three.
Write the equation of the new function in vertex form .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If y = f(x) is the parent function, then the requested function is y = f(3(x+2)) - 5.

Illustration

If the parent function is  y = |x|, then the requested function is  y = |3*(x+2)| - 5.


See the plot below.



    


    Plot y = |x| (the parent function, red), y = |3*(x+2)| - 5 (new function, green).
