The other person was right but in simpler terms the answer is A

Explanation:

Got this correct on the quiz (edgenuitly)

Answer 2

Answer:

On a coordinate plane, an absolute value graph has a vertex at $(2, -1)$.

Explanation:

Let $g(x) = |x|$, $g(x)$ is a parent absolute value, whose vertex is located at $x=0$. Then, $r(x)$ is $g(x)$ translated horizontally two units in the +x direction and vertically one unit in the -y direction. Hence, the vertex is located at $(2, -1)$.

Lastly, we include a graph for $r(x)$ below.
