Question 728015
The graph of g(x) = |x| is two straight lines starting at y=0:  When x=0 y=0, when x = -1 or 1 y=1, when x=2, y=2.<P>
The -1 inside the | |  shifts the graph one to the left.  You can make a table of some values to see that.<P>
When x=-1 |x+1| = |-1 + 1| = 0 so y=0.<P>
When x=0, y=1<P>
when x=1, y=2<P>
When x=-2, y=1<P>
{{{graph( 300, 200, -5, 5, -5, 5, abs(x+1))}}}
