Find the x coordinate of the vertex, set x-2 to equal zero or x-2=0.
Since -2 is not the variable to solve for, move to right side of equation by adding 2 to both sides for x=2.
Replace the x variable with 2 in the expression to get y=|(2)-2|-7.
Simplify |(2)-2)|-7 to get -7 since 2-2=0.
Now becomes, y=0-7 then subtract 0-7=-7 to get y=-7.
The absolute value vertex is (2,-7)




Answer:

The vertex of the absolute function is (2,-7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The absolute value function defined by [tex]f(x)=|x-2|-7[/tex] .

To find : What is the vertex of the absolute value function?

Solution :

In general, the graph of absolute function(V shaped) is defined by the equation,

[tex]f(x)=a|x-h|+k[/tex]

where, (h,k) are the vertex of the equation slope m=a        

Comparing the given equation with the general equation,

[tex]f(x)=|x-2|+(-7)[/tex]

we get, h=2 and k=-7

Therefore, The vertex of the absolute function is (2,-7).

We can verify this by plotting the graph and see the vertex over there.
