Question 237397: trying to solve y=-/x+4/.
seems to be linear when i graph it and am expecting it to "V".
I also did the positive equation for homework: y=/x+4/
this DID have a "V" graph result.
Shouldnt the negative absolute be a mirror of it???

Not "should be", is.
Let 
, then \ +\ 4|\ =\ -|-1|\ =\ -1)
NOT +1. The absolute value of -1 is 1, the opposite of that is -1.
Let 
, then \ +\ 4|\ =\ -|0|\ =\ 0)
Let 
, then \ +\ 4|\ =\ -|1|\ =\ -1)
Looks like the beginnings of an inverted V to me.
