Algebra-1

To determine the transformation of the function y = |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 observe that there is no coefficient in front of the absolute value bars, which means a = 1. Additionally, there is an addition of 2 inside the absolute value bars, so h = -2.
