\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the graph with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\), where $$f ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 2 } | 2 x + 7 | - 10$$
  1. State the coordinates of the vertex, V, of the graph.
  2. Solve, using algebra, $$\frac { 1 } { 2 } | 2 x + 7 | - 10 \geqslant \frac { 1 } { 3 } x + 1$$
  3. Sketch the graph with equation $$y = | \mathrm { f } ( x ) |$$ stating the coordinates of the local maximum point and each local minimum point.
