What is the graph of the absolute value inequality? |x + 5| ≥ y – 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are the choices

OpenStudy (dan815):

y<|x+5|+2

OpenStudy (dan815):

do you know what y=|x+5| looks like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I do not

OpenStudy (dan815):

how about y=|x|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no Ive read the whole chapter on this but I don't understand it at all

OpenStudy (dan815):

absolute values are the 2 bar |..|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i had tried the question and got c but it was wrong

OpenStudy (dan815):

they make sure everything that comes out of the bar is positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i get that

OpenStudy (dan815):

do u know what y=x looks like

OpenStudy (dan815):

without the bars

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (dan815):

y=x means whatever the x value y is the same value draw that on a graph for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be just 1 line|dw:1402958873899:dw|

OpenStudy (dan815):

no

OpenStudy (dan815):

the y and x values have to be the same

OpenStudy (dan815):

y=x so like the poinnts (0,0), (1,1), (2,2).. plot some of those ppoints and join a line through them
