Question

For questions 4-5 what is the graph of each function rule ?
4. y=|x|-1

Answer 1

y=|x|-1

If x = 0, then y = -1 and the point with coordinates (0,-1) must be on the graph.
--> Look through the options and throw out those graphs that do not pass through (0,-1).

y=|x|-1
will open upward. --> Throw out the options that open downward

What is left?
