Question

MEDAL!!!
3. WHAT IS THE GRAPH OF THE ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATION?
y=lx+3l-4

Answer 1

any guesses? really we only have to find the lowest point on the graph

Answer 2

I'm thinking d

Answer 3

no it is not D
lets go slow and find the lowest point on the graph
the absolute value is always greater than or equal to zero
what x value would make \(|x+3|=0\)?

Answer 4

c

Answer 5

c is not a number, it is a letter

Answer 6

im confused

Answer 7

i don't know another way to ask the question
what would \(x\) be if \(|x+3|\) was equal to 0?

Answer 8

-3

Answer 9

whew yes right !

Answer 10

so the first coordinate of the lowest point on the graph will be \(-3\)

Answer 11

a

Answer 12

and if \(x=-3\) then \(y=|-3-3|-4=0-4=-4\) so the lowest point on the graph is \((-3,-4)\)

Answer 13

if that is the lowest point on the graph if A, then it is A
