It helps to list the transformations. But it's not necessary; you can sub in values and solve for the other value. Plot those values.
Explanation:
First off, let's add a
Now we have:
Before we graph, let's list the transformations.
- Reflection in the
#x# -axis. - Vertical translation
#3# units up. - Horizontal translations
#3# units left.
Now we know what to expect. So, let's sub in values of
Then, we plot the values of
We should get this:
graph{y= - | x + 3 | + 3 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
Hope this helps :)
