The graph of an absolute value function has a vertex at (–2, 3) and passes through the point (–1, 0). Using transformations of the parent function, has the graph been dilated by a scale factor other than 1? Explain.
Answer
Answer:
Yes. The equation is y = −3|x + 2| + 3, so the graph has a dilation with scale factor 3 (and a reflection across the x-axis).
