Lesson 2

The document discusses graphing absolute value functions by explaining the parent function y=|x|, comparing other functions to it, and stating the general form of an absolute value function as y=|x-h|+k with the vertex being (h,k). It then graphs several examples and has students write equations for given graphs.

H is ALWAYS an opposite sign

General absolute value function:


y = |x - h| + k

(h,k) is the vertex of the absolute


value graph.
h is the x part of the coordinate
k is the y part of the coordinate
