Find a value for K that would make the equation linear: y=kIxI+7 (there are absolute value bars infrong of x so its a function right now) thanks.....

The only value of k for which y=kIxI+7 can be linear is k = 0. For any other value of k, the graph of the equation is V-shaped.

K can be anything, even zero. You would have y=7, which is a straight line, parallel to the x axis and 7 units above it.

that equation is a linear equation...whatever value of K, it will always be a linear.

k can not be zero
y=kx+7
or
y=-kx+7
