Question

y=1/3[x]-2

Answer 1

do they tell you want [x] means ?

Answer 2

use integer values of x from -3 to 3to graph the equation just like the other question

Answer 3

you must mean
\[ y = \frac{1}{3} |x| -2 \]
the | x | means absolute value. [x] would mean something different.

|x| makes x *always positive*
if you write |1| it is just 1
if you write | -1 | it is 1 also

Answer 4

when they say
use integer values of x from -3 to 3to graph the equation just like the other question

it sound like they want you to find y values for x=-3 , -2, -1, 0, 1,2,3
(which is a lot of work) We probably only need a few points to check to figure out the correct graph.

Answer 5

do the same thing as you did last time. what is y when x is 0 ?

Answer 6

idk how to do it

Answer 7

cause do i multiply at where 1/3|x|

Answer 8

in
\[ y = \frac{1}{3} |x| -2 \]
replace the x (erase it) and put in 0
