If the degree is 1 - ie y = |x-1|, it will look like a V, it can be pointed downward as well depending on the sign.

If the degree is 2 or higher - ie y=|x^2 - x +1|, it can look like a W or so, depending on the sign.

Not sure if I understand the question... the shape of a absolute value graph is a V
