Remember the definition of absolute value function,
abs%28x%29=x if x%3E0
abs%28x%29=-x if x%3C0
.
.
.
f%28x%29=2-abs%28x%29
f%28x%29=-x%2B2 if x%3E0
f%28x%29=2-%28-x%29 if x%3C0
f%28x%29=x%2B2 if x%3C0
Both are in slope intercept form and have a y-intercept of 2.
When x>0, slope is negative 1.
When x>0, slope is positive 1.
