Graphing:
  1. At desmos.com, graph two absolute value functions such that they have a common vertex in Quadrant III and one is the vertical reflection of the other.
  2. Zoom and pan your graph to establish an appropriate viewing window.
  3. Click on the common vertex point to create a label showing its coordinates.
  4. Capture a screenshot of your graph and the vertex label.
  5. Upload or paste your screenshot to the Formative canvas.
