   : View Source, ShowAbout bperkhou: I am a student at Stanford University. After a quick reminder of how the absolute value works, I show the graph of y=|x|. This graph is easy to explain: when x is positive, |x|=x so we have part of the graph y=x. When x is negative, |x|=-x so we have part of the graph y=-x. Other absolute value functions may be graphed based on this basic one: y=|x|. We shift where the corner is based on what specific function we have. Then we draw lines out of the corner with the appropriate slope. This lesson has been accessed 5734 times. |
