I dont understand this and my teacher wont help me

Transformed equation is g(x)
[tex]g(x)=a\lvert x-h\rvert+k[/tex]Here the parameters are
a:vertical scale factor
h:the right shift of the vertex
k:the upper shift of the vertex
Here, your vertex is at (2,3)
which allows us to fill in the h and k as follows
[tex]\lvert x-2\rvert+3[/tex]Now for a, a is the compression factor.
Here the vertices of the transformed function goes up by 3
So a=3
16)The type of transformation is dilation, as the shape of the graph does not change. It is just transformed into another form.
