Question

How do you graph `y=abs(x-2)`?

Answer 1

See below:

Explanation:

We can notice a couple of things right off:

• the absolute value will always return a number that is greater than or equal to 0. And so the value of `y` in our question can't be negative.

• when `x=2, y=0`

• when `x=1, 3; y=1`

• when `x=0, 4; y=2`

and so on.

The graph ends up looking like this:

graph{abs(x-2) [-7.21, 12.79, -2.12, 7.88]}
