Question 5 • Algebra II
The parent function is y = |x|. A horizontal stretch by a factor of 3/2 changes it to |(2/3)x| = (2/3)|x|; reflecting it across the x-axis and shifting it left 4 and down 6 gives f(x). So the graph is a horizontal stretch of the parent function. Its vertex is (-4, -6), not (-4, 6).
