Graphing y=a|x-h|+k

-The vertex of this equation in (h,k)

-a tells you whether the V opens up or down on the graph.

           -- you always go up and right then up and left, or down and right then down and left.

- the h determines whether the V moves right or left ( since it's the absolute values of h you use the opposite of that number)

-the k determines whether the V moves up or down.
