Question

graph the absolute value equation y=|3x+5|

Answer 1

You have to start with the parent function:
y= l x l
And the parent points:
(0,0) (1,1) (-1,1) (2,2) (-2,2)
Now mutiply every x-value by 1/3: (The negative recipricol of 3)
(0*1/3, 0) (1*1/3, 1) (-1*1/3, 1) (2*1/3, 2) (-2*1/3,2)
Now move every x-value *UP* 5 units:
[(0*1/3) +5 , 0] [(1*1/3) +5, 1] [(-1*1/3) +5 , 1] [(2*1/3) +5 , 2] [(-2*1/3) +5 ,2]
Tah duh! :)

Answer 2

oh I see, but I don't know how to put that on a graph...
