How do I graph y=-|x+1| and y=|2x-1| on the same coordinate plane.
***
y=-|x+1|
This is a "v" shaped curve opening downward.
At x=-1, y=0
From this point downward, two straight lines are drawn.
One line has a slope=1, and the other, slope=-1
..
y=|2x-1|
This is a "v" shaped curve opening upward.
At x=0.5, y=0
From this point upward, two straight lines are drawn.
One line has a slope=2, and the other, slope=-2
