Question

How do you graph y = 1 + |x-1|?

Answer 1

The graph is in the shape of a V.

Explanation:

`y=1+abs(x-1)`

Determine points on the graph by substituting positive and negative values for `x` and determining the corresponding `y` value.

`x=-3,` `y=5`
`x=-2,` `y=4`
`x=-1,` `y=3`
`x=0,` `y=2`
`x=1,` `y=1`
`x=2,` `y=2`
`x=3,` `y=3`
`x=4,` `y=4`
`x=5,` `y=5`

graph{y=1+abs(x-1) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
