Consider the relation y = −3|x + 5| − 6. What are the coordinates of the vertex?

Solution:
Given the relation below
[tex]y=-3|x+5|-6[/tex]The general form, an absolute value function is
[tex]y=a|x-h|+k[/tex]The vertex coordinates are (h, k)
Solving to find the vertex below
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+5=x-h \\ 5=-h \\ h=-5 \\ k=-6 \\ (h,k)\Rightarrow(-5,-6) \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the coordinates of the vertex is
[tex](-5,-6)[/tex]
