Answer

Shift the graph of the parent function 2 units to the right, then vertically scale by a factor of 3, shift by one unit up

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $h(x)=|3x-6|+1$ Rewrite the function: $h(x)=|3(x-2)|+1=3|x-2|+1$ We start graphing with the parent function $p(x)=|x|$. First shift $p(x)$ by 2 units to the right to get the function $g(x)=|x-2|$. Then vertically scale $g(x)$ by a factor of 3 to get $k(x)=3|x-2|$. Finally shift the function $k(x)$ by one unit up to get the function $h(x)=3|x-2|+1$. Graph all transformations:
