@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey you need some help?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Yes please(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so what do you know about graphing an absolute equation?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Not a lot.

OpenStudy (liv1234):

But, I feel like the answer is C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://www.purplemath.com/modules/graphabs.htm take a look at this it'll give you an idea.

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Ohh @Michele_Laino can you help please?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Please

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we can write this: \[\begin{gathered} y = x - 9,\quad x \geqslant 5 \hfill \\ y = - x + 1,\quad x < 5 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (liv1234):

So, how is that going to help solve?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

I need help D:

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we can note that if x<5 then the function is expressed by this formula: y=-x+1 now, that formula tells us that at x=0, y=1

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Would it be C?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! since we have to serach for a line with negative slope and whose y-intercept is +1

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

OpenStudy (liv1234):

So, it is C?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct!

OpenStudy (liv1234):
