First find the minimum point of the graph.

Since absolute value function can not be negative, the minimum point of the

graph is where .

The original function is .

Set original function

According to subtraction property of equality: if , then .

          (Subtract 2 from each side)

                      (Additive invrese property: )

                        (Additive identity property: 0 – 2 = –2)

According to Multiplication property of equality: if , then .

               (Multiply each side by 3)

                        (Cancel common terms)

                            (Multiply: )

Next make at table, fill out the table with values for .

First, draw a co-ordinate plane.

Locate the points on co-ordinate plane and draw the graph through these points.
