All four graphs shown are transformations of the absolute value function: blue graph has vertex at (-1, 2), passes through (0, -2); black graph has vertex at (-1, 2), passes through (0, 6); green graph has vertex at (-1, 4) and passes through (0, 5); red graph has vertex at (0, 0) and passes through (1, 1)
