how do you graph, f(x)= -|x|+2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you want to know how to graph it manually or with a graphing calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

manually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, first, know the graph for the absolute value of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it looks like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that negative sign in front, is pretty much telling you to reflect that to look like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then when you see a plus 2 at the end, what you are doing is just moving that graph up 2, like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that will be the final graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh thanks! well, my question actually had a different point, they gave me a graph, and i had to find out which equation fits the graph. i'll draw it hold on
