To answer this, you need to know the general form of an absolute value function. the equation for this is f(x<span>) = </span>a|x<span> - </span>h<span>| + </span>k, and in this equation, the vertex is (h, k).
with that information, you can see that your vertex will be (-5, 7). you must take the negative for 5 because the general equation states that your h value is usually subtracted from x. to check your vertex, try plugging it into your general equation:
f(x) = a|x - (-5)| + 7
f(x) = a|x + 5| + 7 ... you see that this matches your given equation. this last part here was just to show why your 5 must be negative; your answer is bolded.
Step-by-step explanation:
if you need any explanation you can ask
1) y= -4x+c
2) y= 3x+c replace x and y to find c , 5=3(2)+c
C= -1
Y=3x-1
3) find slope first m=y2-y1/x2-x1 = 0-(-1)/-2-1 = 1/-3 and now you have y= -1/3x+c to find c just replace any of the given points , 0= -1/3(-2)+c
C= -2/3 and so y= -1/3x-2/3
4) DO THE SAME STEP AS NUMBER 3 and enjoy!
