Describe the transformation of the parent function
y=|x-1|-5
The parent function of y = |x| is a V-shaped graph that opens upwards, with the vertex at (0, 0).
In the given function y = |x-1| - 5, the parent function is transformed by:
1. Horizontal shift: The whole graph is shifted 1 unit to the right. This means the vertex, which is the minimum point, is now located at (1, 0).
2. Vertical shift: The whole graph is shifted down 5 units. This means every point of the original graph is now 5 units lower than before.
Overall, the parent function is shifted 1 unit to the right and down 5 units.
