How do you graph y = I x+2 I ?

Answer 1

Graph consists of two straight lines that meet at (0 , 2).
Gradient of lines are 1 and - 1.

Answer 2

The graph of an absolute value looks like a V, with the point at the origin. Adding a constant to x shifts the curve to the left. So you would draw a V with the point at (-2, 0).

Answer 3

well the graph of an absolute value looks like a V, with the point at the origin. Adding a constant to x shifts the curve to the left. So you would draw a V with the point at (-2, 0). good question good luck . -B-

Answer 4

the graph will look like a "V" with the bottom point of the "V" at the point (-2,0).

The line will have a slope of -1/1 down the the point coming from the left, and a slope of 1/1 going up from the point to the right.

remember slope is rise/run.

so down one right one for -1/1
and up one right one for 1/1

Answer 5

It basically ends up looking like a V. The bottom of the V would be at (-2,0) and then it would go upwards with a slope of 1 (or -1) from that point.

I'm not sure if that's very clear... sorry if it isn't.

Answer 6

y = x+2 if x>=-2
y = -2-x if x<-2

This can also be done by plotting y=x+2 first, and plotting the mirror image (wrt the x axis) of the section left to y=0.

Answer 7

just start plotting points since your eq. is in the form of y=ax+b then you can pick any x you want plug it in and you get your y coordinate for example:
the bars on the end are absolute value meaning after plugging in your x and adding 2 then just make it positive

(0,2), (1,3), (2,5), (-1,1), (-2,0), (-3,1),(-4,2)

Answer 8

they are stupid to teach such a thing
