Question

MEDAL/FAN4FAN HELP
Graph the function.
y=lx+2l-3
I know there's an easy way to figure out the placement and slope just from using the function above.. but I'm not exactly sure! I will post the options.

Answer 1

I got this.

Answer 2

well, the one thing you'd need to know is that |x+2| stand for +1(x+2) and -1(x+2)
so
y=lx+2l-3

is really meant to be

y=+1(x+2)-3 AND
y=-1(x+2)-3

so, graph those two

Answer 3

I posted the options above, would it be D then?

Answer 4

dunno, graph them

Answer 5

I tried.

Answer 6

well, so, match your graph against the given choices

Answer 7

I just want someone to check my answer then because once I submit I can't change it. I got D.

Answer 8

which means he didn't graph it :/

Answer 9

I am a she, and I did graph it thank you. But it is distorted so I must have graphed it incorrectly.

Answer 10

You don't need to talk down to me, I am just trying to find some help. Explain graphing then perhaps?

Answer 11

heheh, ok, She did graph it then, it's just 2 lines you know, so pick 2 values for "x" and plot those over a straight line, do the same for the 2nd equation

Answer 12

give me a sec

Answer 13

y=+1(x+2)-3
y=-1(x+2)-3
These right ^
I still don't quite understand I have to be doing it wrong...
I'm more for equations then graphing hahaha

Answer 14

<wait with anxiety>
<biting nails>

Answer 15

input for x, like 1 and 2 or whatever right

Answer 16

then what

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

what would y equal and x equal to be able to graph it?

Answer 19

first one y=1 if I use 1 as x

Answer 20

second y=-1

Answer 21

well, the 1st equation is
y = +(x+2)-3

so make x = 1
y = +(1+2)-3 => 0

Answer 22

so it sits on the x axis?

Answer 23

hahahah I still don't understanddd

Answer 24

well, it gives you ... yes, it "touches" the y-axis

Answer 25

wait no, the x-axis

Answer 26

so, it touches the x-axis, at x = 1

Answer 27

it's A...?

Answer 28

I think I got the gist.

Answer 30

is it A or not hahah

Answer 31

hehe

Answer 32

because in A it correlates with the graphing right?

Answer 33

yes

Answer 34

sweet. I need more help can you do like speed step by step if I get the answers wrong? just a few more questions I'm checkingg

Answer 35

well, is easier if you post in channel, that way we can all see it and help and revise earch other :)

Answer 36

channel?

Answer 37

so-called main channel, so close this one, and open/ask a new one :)
