Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertically stretched. The action of vertically stretched is accomplished by altering a in
y = a* abs(x)
What that means is that you make a > 1. In this case, a = 2
So far, what you have is
y = 2*abs(x)
Six units down. The action of 6 units down is accomplished by a number added or subtracted to/from absolute(x). down is minus, up is plus.
y = 2*abs(x) - b. Since we are moving down, b<0
y = 2*abs(x) - 6
Four Units Right. This is the tough one because it is anti intuitive. You would think you should be adding something somewhere to get a right hand movement.
Not true.
To move right you subtract something in the brackets.
y = 2*abs(x - 4) - 6
Graph
Just to make things complete, I have graphed this for you. Desmos is wonderful for this kind of problem.
red: y = abs(x)
blue: y = 2*abs(x - 4) - 6
