You can put this solution on YOUR website!
"input" is a fancy way of saying x
"output" is a fancy way to say y
So, plug in the x values they give you:
What is the output, if your input is 45?
y=|x - 2|
y = |45 - 2|
y = |43|
y = 43.
43 is the output when 45 is the input.
What if you input -6?
y = |x - 2|
y = |-6 - 2|
y = |-8|
y = 8
8 is the output when -6 is the input.
