Question

Graph the equation y=2|x|
Just want to know what to do first. I can take it from there.

Answer 1

@alyssa_xo

Answer 2

easy
pick two random "x
well... three with 0

so set x = 0 and pick other 2 values for it
one less than 0 and other more than 0
to get the "y", and graph away

Answer 3

This function will always output a positive value, with a slope that always has a magnitude of 2. Pick a few x coordinates to see what the graph will look like. What will y be when x is negative? Positive? zero?

Answer 4

y will be negative too

Answer 5

because 2 is positive.

Answer 6

so 2|0|=0 (0,0)
2|3|=6 (3,6)
and 2|-3|=-6 (-3,-6)

Answer 7

then graph? right? and then I'm done?

Answer 8

welll 2| -3 |

absolute value of -3 is not really -3, sooo

Answer 9

i don't understand

Answer 10

|-a|=|a|=+a

Answer 11

the absolute value represents the magnitude of the number

Answer 12

o.o use less math words lol

Answer 13

the absolute value of anything, is always positive

Answer 14

that's what i thought so, the absolute value of -3 is just 3?

Answer 15

| -1,12,133,459 | => 1,12,133,459

Answer 16

yeap

Answer 17

wait so what wou
