Graph each equation by plotting points that satisfy the question:
y=-2|x-3|
----
Notice that y = 0 when x = 3; giving you the point (3,0)
----
Now choose some x values to the left and to the right of x=3:
If x = 0, y = -2|-3| = -6
If x = 1, y = -2|-2| = -4
If x = 2, y = -2|-1| = -2
If x = 4, y = -2|1| = -2
If x = 5, y = -2|2| = -4
If x = 6, y = -2|3| = -6
-------------------------------
Plot those (x,y) points and draw a line connecting them:
