y=a|x-h|+k

 y=a|x-h|+k
the vertex on your graph will be (H,K)

the A tells you whether the V will open up or down,so if a is negative is will open down,and if it's positive, it will open up

Your A also tells you the slope,so if your a is 1 your slope would be 1/1 So up 1 over 1, up 1 over 1 etc.

the H moves the V right or left (opposite,so if you H is negative it would move right,and if it was positive it would move left)

the K moves the V up or down

The green graph is the graph of the function we want. It is a translation of the blue graph moved one unit down and 2 units left

Here is a good example of what I am looking for...nice job!!!
