Graphing Absolute Value Functions and Key Features: Sample Algebra 1 EOC Questions

The graph of an absolute value function is a V, and its vertex, direction, and width come straight out of the form y equals a times the absolute value of x minus h, plus k. Students graph it and describe its key features.

How the Algebra 1 EOC tests this benchmark

Items are limited to that vertex form with a not zero and rational h and k, and the EOC will not ask students to write or solve an absolute value function here, only to graph it and read it. The horizontal shift is the trap: x minus h shifts right when h is positive. Graphic response items and matching items are common.

Skills students need

  • Locate the vertex from the equation
  • Decide whether the V opens up or down
  • Recognize a vertical stretch or compression
  • State domain, range, and intercepts
