Answer:
C. (5,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
For parent function f(x) with vertex at (0, 0), translating it horizontally by "h" and vertically by "k" makes it look like
f(x -h) +k
and the vertex moves to (h, k).
__
Here, the parent function |x| has its vertex at (0, 0). Writing it as ...
-3|x -5| +2
moves its vertex to (h, k) = (5, 2).
_____
Additional comment
The factor -3 serves to reflect the graph over the x-axis and expand it vertically by a factor of 3. It has no effect on the translation of the vertex.
