Use the graph below (by dragging the sliders) to determine the absolute value function that is needed to bounce the cue ball (unnumbered ball) off the rail so that it hits the eight-ball and sends the eight-ball into a pocket without hitting any other balls.

1. What do the values of \(a\), \(h\) and \(k\) do to the absolute value function?
2. What are the four absolute value functions that determine the bounce paths for Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4?
