Question

y = 1/3 |x| –2

Answer 1

\[|x| = x , \quad x >0 \\ \quad \quad -x , \quad x <0\]

Answer 2

hint, if x greter or equal to zero the your function can ve rewrutten as follows:
\[y = \frac{1}{3}x - 2\]
whereas if x is less than zero, then your function can be rrewritten as follows:
\[y = - \frac{1}{3}x - 2\]

Answer 3

oops.. if x is greater ...

Answer 4

oops.. can be rewritten too.... :P

Answer 5

Don't guess..

Answer 6

no, I don't think it is B

Answer 7

See, |x| has a graph of:

Answer 8

hint, if I set x=0, into your formula, I get:
\[y = \frac{1}{3}x - 2 = 0 - 2 = - 2\]
so the point A=(0,2) belongs to your graph

Answer 9

oops.. the point A = (0, -2)

Answer 10

Good.. :)

Answer 11

Good try.. :P

Answer 12

I said, don't guess..

Answer 13

what is the graph which contains the point A = (0, -2)?

Answer 14

hint:
the graph of the equation
\[y = \frac{1}{3}x - 2\]
is:

Answer 15

when, of course, x is greater or equal to zero
