what is the equation of this graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

it has two lines x+y=1 (x<=4,y<=3) and x+y=7 (x>=4,y<=3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the equation and how did you get it @mathmath333

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

i am little confused here @aum

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

pick up any two points and use formula y=mx+c for two lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2,-2 and 7,0

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

for first line pick(1,0) and (4,3) for second u many pick (7,0) and (4,3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

@phi

OpenStudy (phi):

This one is a bit tricky. you could find the equations of two different lines the slopes are -1 (down and to the left) and +1 (up and to the right) you would find y= -x + 7, x>= 4 y = x +1 , x<= 4 but, we can use the y= |x| graph to make one equatoin

OpenStudy (phi):

**y= -x + 7, x>= 4 y = x -1 , x<= 4 ** fixed typo

OpenStudy (phi):

But they probably want you to know that the "parent function" y= |x| is a v shaped graph made by two lines with slope of 1 and -1. they you reflect graph about the x-axis (by multiplying by -1) shift right (replace x with x-4 ) and shift up by 3 (add +3) y = -|x-4| + 3

great!
