|y| = x + 1 Since |y| ≧ 0, x + 1 ≧ 0, hence x ≧ -1, so we cannot use any values of x less than 1. So we get a few points. When x = -1 (the smallest value x can take on) |y| = -1 + 1 |y| = 0 y = 0, so we have the point (1,0) as the left-most point on the graph. When x = 0, |y| = 0 + 1 |y| = 1 There are two values of y that satisfy that, 1 and -1, so we have the two points (0,1) and (0,-1) When x = 0, |y| = 0 + 1 |y| = 1 There are two values of y that satisfy that, 1 and -1, so we have the two points (0,1) and (0,-1) When x = 1, |y| = 1 + 1 |y| = 2 There are two values of y that satisfy that, 2 and -2, so we have the two points (1,2) and (1,-2) That's enough. We plot what we have:Then draw the graph: Edwin
