i was given to equations and had to graph them they are
Y=|5-x| & Y=-3x+3. Although i can figure out the Y=-3x+3 i dont exactly know how to do the other one. And the staight lines are absolute value if someone didnt know that. So i would just like some one to help me figure what to do with the Y=|5-x|. Thanks to all that can help me!

when we are graphing we are doing the shading stuff so you know an area where it would work.

First, plug numbers into the equation and plot those values (I would usually choose 0, and then -5, 5 or what ever you feel like choosing). For the first, if x=1 then the absolute value of 5-1 is 4. Do this for positive and negative numbers. The answer should always be a positive number so y will always be plotted above the x axis. It should look like a V when you are finished. As for shading, just use test numbers. I always found that to be the easiest way to make sure that I have it right. Feel free to reply if you need any clarification.

y= [5-x] will look like a " V " on the graph

The bottom of the V will be on (5,0) then go up with a slope of 1 to the right and a slope of -1 to the left

draw a v from 0,5 down to 5,0 up to 10,5

look for the intersection with the other line

You need to first ask champ bailey to find the Y intercept.....he led the NFL in interceptions last year.

nicely, idk wat u advise via graphing, yet i will remedy it devoid of that fixing the two equations take 3x-y+ (-x)+y=10+(-4) u try this to do away with the y variable. thats 2x=6 so x=3. replace this into the 2nd equation -(3)+y= -4 y-3+3= -4+3 y=-one million so, x=3,y= -one million
