Graphs are difficult to describe here but let's try. If x is 1, then y is 0. Start with point (1,0). If x is 2 then y is one. (2,1). There is a line starting at 1,0 and going up and to the right with a slope of one.
But, if x is 2, y could also be -1 because the absolute value of -1 is 1. There is another line starting at 1,0 and going down and to the right with a slope of -1.
Then, if x is -1, y is also zero. Start again with point (-1, 0). Without showing a lot of detail, the left side of the graph is a mirror image of the right side. When you are done your graph should look at bit like > < .
It has an absolute minimum at the point (2,3). It has no maximum but the ends of the graph both approach infinity.
-5
And stop cheating
The absolute value of a function changes the original function by ensuring that any negative y values will in essence be positive. For instance, the function y = absolute value (x) will yield the value +1 when x equals -1. Graphically, this function will look like a "V".
x=9
the absolute value of displacement which is delta equals x2-x1
It has an absolute minimum at the point (2,3). It has no maximum but the ends of the graph both approach infinity.
That is a result of an absolute value equation. So an Absolute Value Graph
y = |x| - 2
zero. The absolute value of a number is just the positive version of that number, so the absolute value of x is x, and x minus x is zero.
No.

Zero. The absolute value |n| is positive for any real number. Subtracting it from itself is zero.
