write an inequality for the graph.

@Directrix here

nop

Directrix (directrix):

The border reminds me of the absolute value graph. But, it has been moved up and over, I think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so thats the answer or what lol

Directrix (directrix):

Courtesty of the "Wolf," here is how the parent graph looks. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D+absolute+value+of+x

Directrix (directrix):

Now, we have to figure out how to move it over 5 units and up 1. After that, we have to figure whether it will be greater than or less than.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok;)

Directrix (directrix):

Go here: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D+absolute+value+of+%28x-5%29 and look at how the graph shifted 5 units to the right with the equation y = abs(x - 5). Your Task: When you get on that site, add 1 to the equation at the top and click on the "=" tab and see if the graph goes up or down one unit. Then, post the link of the graph you made so that I can look at it. Okay? @cutegirl

Directrix (directrix):

@cutegirl Please read the above ^^^^ so that we can knock out this problem. Okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it right

Directrix (directrix):

No. You did not do what I asked.

Directrix (directrix):

When you get there, Your Task: When you get on that site,--> add 1 to the equation at the top and click on the "=" tab and see if the graph goes up or down one unit.

Directrix (directrix):

Then, post the address of the graph you made so that I can look at it. Okay?

Directrix (directrix):

Yes.

Directrix (directrix):

Does this graph you made (see attachment) look like the border of the one you are given in the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!!!!!

Directrix (directrix):

Do you agree that the border segments in the given graph are solid and not dashed. As best I can tell, they are solid but we need to know. Tell me what your eyes see.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its solid?

Directrix (directrix):

Solid is what I am seeing. Okay, one last thing. This is an inequality that includes the border so it will be y ≥ absolute value of (x-5)+1 OR y ≤ absolute value of (x-5)+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a ?????

Directrix (directrix):

So, which one do you think? You can go back to that graph site and put in y ≥ absolute value of (x-5)+1 and see what you get.

Directrix (directrix):

y ≥ | (x - 5)| + 1 See what that looks like.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats it ;))

Directrix (directrix):

That's what I think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much;))))

You are welcome.
