What are the characteristics of the absolute value equation

The video tutorial explains the characteristics of the V graph, focusing on the vertex, axis of symmetry, and how transformations affect the graph's shape. It discusses the importance of the vertex as a minimum or maximum point and how the axis of symmetry divides the graph into two equal halves. The tutorial also covers how to use a table of values to plot the graph and how different transformations, such as scaling and reflecting, impact the graph's appearance.

What is the point called where the V graph has its minimum or maximum?

• Axis of symmetry

• Intercept

• Vertex

• Slope

How can the V graph be divided to show symmetry?

• By drawing a circle around it

• By drawing a diagonal line

• By drawing a vertical line through the vertex

• By drawing a horizontal line

What happens to the V graph when the value of K is greater than one?

• The graph shifts to the left

• The graph becomes narrower

• The graph becomes wider

• The graph shifts to the right

If the value of K is between zero and one, how does the V graph change?

• It becomes wider

• It becomes narrower

• It shifts upwards

• It shifts downwards

Why is the axis of symmetry important when plotting points on the V graph?

• It helps in determining the slope

• It allows for easy reflection of points

• It shows the intercepts

• It identifies the maximum point
