Graph y = |x| + 2 ? HELP ME PLEASE?

Question

IF x = -2, x = -1, x = 0, x = 1, and x = 2. SO CONFUSING..HELP ME WITH MORE DETAILS PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

Take a deep breath and think about it.

What are you being asked to do?

Draw a number line, say, -5 to 5, include 0. mark it off and note all the numbers. Basically a line with numbers on it from -5 to -4, -3 ... you get the drift.

Got it?

OK, below that, figure out what the absolute value of the numbers on the line are. what is the absolute value of negative five?

Figured that out?

OK, add two.

Got that?

Keep going for all the points.

Look at the original X axis, draw a vertical Y axis at zero. You now have a graph of -5 to 5, by one, including zero. With a vertical Y axis.

At the points on the X axis, plot the points you calculated on the Y axis. Connect those points by a line.

Write back what it looks like.

Answer 2

Hm

You know how parabolas look like?

The graph would kinda look like that but instead of a U shape, it would be like a V shape. o_O

Answer 3

This is a V, with the point of the V on (0, 2).

(0,2), (1,3), (2,4), etc.

and

(0,2), (-1,3), (-2,4)

|x| = absolute value, which means "distance from zero."

If you had y = |x|, you'd get a V with the vertex on (0,0).

   (0,0), (1,1), (2,2)

   and

   (0,0), (-1,1), (-2,2)...etc.

   if x = -1, then y = 1 because -1 is 1 away from 0.

  if x = -2, then y = 2 because -2 is 2 away from 0.

Basically, absolute value is a way of saying "make this number positive if it is negative."

In y = |x| + 2, you just move the graph up by 2.
