Question

please help!!

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

umm i think i add the x values into the equation like this y=|-4+2|-1?

Answer 3

u there @skullpatrol ?

Answer 4

Yes, you are exactly right: replace the "X" with the given number then simplify :-)

Answer 5

What is -4 + 2 = ?

Answer 6

-2

Answer 7

Now take the absolute value

Answer 8

2?

Answer 9

| -2 | = 2

Answer 10

okay so do i put 2 for y?

Answer 11

You still have to subtract 1, right?

Answer 12

yes 1 would be my answer right?

Answer 13

Yes, y = 1 for x = -4.

Answer 14

what about (x,y) what do i have to do with that?

Answer 15

(-4, 1)
(x, y)

Answer 16

oohh okay ty so much i think i got it

Answer 17

for the rest of them would all the y values be 1?

Answer 18

No, you must now go through each of the given points and calculate the corresponding y value.

Answer 19

oh yeah sorry i was confused for a sec lol

Answer 20

Then plot each point on the x-y coordinate plane.

Answer 21

okay just finished doing them all so the answer i got is (-4,1) (-3,2) (-2,1) (-1,0) (0,1) am i correct?

Answer 22

Plot them to see if you get a "V-shaped" graph.

Answer 23

ok

Answer 24

nope :/ let me try again

Answer 25

hmm this is more difficult than i thought ~_~

Answer 26

Keep trying

Answer 27

can you please help me with the second one

Answer 28

|-3+2|-1

Answer 29

For x = -3 you should get y = 0 since | -1 | = 1

Answer 30

so i should get -3,0 or -3,1?

Answer 31

( -3 , 0 )

Answer 32

okay i got that for #3 |-2+2|-1 i got -2,1 is that correct

Answer 33

Nope.

Answer 34

What is 0 - 1 = ?

Answer 35

-2+2= 0 0-1=-1

Answer 36

Yes, keep going :-)

Answer 37

y is -1? but i thought the bars keep it from being negative?

Answer 38

$$\Huge y = | x + 2 | - 1$$

Answer 39

Only what is inside the bars stays positive, right?

Answer 40

ok

Answer 41

it made a V shape thanks for your help can you check one of my papers?

Answer 42

Y is the result of the entire calculation on the right hand side of the equation :-)
