In form
ax+by=c
slope=-a/b
y intercpept=c/b
so
-3x-4y=-12
a=-3
b=-4
c=-12
slope=-(-3)/-4=3/-4=-3/4
yint=-12/-4=3
slope=-3/4
yint is 3
<span>Left & Right affect the h,
Up & Down affect the k,
Shrink & Stretch affect the "a" (which is in front of the absolute value expression).
1. shift 1 unit to the right and up 2 units → y = |x-1| + 2
2. </span><span>shift 3 units to the left and 7 units down → y = |x + 7| - 7
3. </span><span>vertical shrink by a factor of 1/3 → y =

|x|
4. </span><span>vertical stretch by a factor of 3
→ y = </span><span>3 |x|</span>
