Question 20276: How to draw this graph Y=|X|/X where the first X is with absolute value

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
|X| is defined as follows:
|X| = X if X>=0
|X| = -X if X<0
So, for your problem:
If X<0 then Y=|X|/X = -X/X = -1
If X=0 Y=|X|/X is meaningless.
If X>0 then Y=|X|/X = X/X = 1
Hope this helps.
