To find the vertex of the absolute value function y = -4|x + 2| + 5, we can compare it to the general form of an absolute value function: y = a|x - h| + k.

From the given function, we can see that the coefficient in front of the absolute value bars is -4, which corresponds to the "a" value in the general form. Since the coefficient is negative, the graph is reflected over the x-axis. This means that the vertex will be the highest point on the graph.

To determine the x-coordinate of the vertex,...
