Graph:

$y=3absx$

Since $absa=+-a$ , there are two equations; one in which $x$ is positive, and one in which $x$ is negative.

Positive X

$y=3x$

Determine two points.

$x=0,$ $y=0$

$x=2,$ $y=6$

Points: $(0,0)$ and $(2,6)$

Plot the points and draw a straight line through them.

Negative X

$y=-3x$

Determine two points.

$x=0,$ $y=0$

$x=-2,$ $y=6$

Points: $(0,0)$ and $(-2,6)$

Plot the points and draw a straight line through them.
