Answer:
(3, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is is the standard y=|x| except the values tells you that x shifts 3 (within the absolute value or parentheses x does the opposite) to the right and the y value shifts 5 up (numbers outside parentheses affects y and does what it says). You can try using a table of values then graphing to check your answer.
(1/4)x = 2
x = 8 x 3 = 24 feet long
(1/4)x = 1
x = 4 x 3 = 12 feet wide
24ft x 12ft = 288ft^2
If you list all the common factors, (1,2,3,6), you see the highest common factor is 6
