what would the graph look like for x=|y+1|?

Question

x= absolute value of (y+1)

Answer 1

It will look like a < with lines of slope 1 and -1. The leftmost point will be at (0,-1).

Answer 2

Absolute value means to make a number positive - so x will always be positive regardless of what y is.

e.g. If y is -2, then x will be |-2+1| which is |-1| or 1.

This means your line will always be on the positive X axis. it'll look like < with the point at y = -1.

Answer 3

Make a chart:
|| x = || y = ||
|| 0 || -1 ||
|| 1 || 0 ||
|| 2 || 1 ||
|| 2 || -3 ||
|| 3 || 2 ||
|| 3 || -4 ||

Now plot these points on a graph to see what the shape of the graph will be! Hope this helps...

Answer 4

first you have to put it into y intersept for i think..

so it would be y=x-1 then graph -1 on the y axes.

because there is really a one next to the x and it is over 1 (1/1) from the -1 you would go up 1 (for the top 1) and over to the right 1 (for the bottom 1)

Answer 5

It would look like a less than symbol < with a y-intercept at (0,-1)

Answer 6

Like a sideways V (<) starting at x =1

Answer 7

each value of x will have 2 values of y:
y= x-1
y= -x-1
the graph will look like this: <
