Where is the corner point of the graph of y = the absolute value of (x - 3), plus 4?

AAt the point (4, 3)
BAt the point (3, 4)
CAt the point (-3, 4)
DAt the point (3, -4)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. At the point (3, 4)
1. The basic absolute value graph turns at the origin. 2. Subtracting 3 inside the bars shifts the whole graph right 3 units. 3. Adding 4 outside the bars shifts the whole graph up 4 units. 4. So the corner point moves from the origin to (3, 4). _Source: OpenStax College Algebra (CC BY 4.0), section 3.6 Absolute Value Functions_
