(see below)

Explanation:

For x<=6
color(white)("XXX")abs(6-x) is the same as 6-x
color(white)("XXX")and we can find a few point by picking arbitrary values of x <=6
color(white)("XXX"){:color(green)((ul(x),color(white)("xx"),ul(6-x)), (6,,0), (3,,3),(0,,6)) :}

Similarly, for x >= 6
color(white)("XXX")abs(6-x) is the same as x-6
color(white)("XXX")and we can find a few point by picking arbitrary values of x <=6
color(white)("XXX"){:color(magenta)((ul(x),color(white)("xx"),ul(x-6)), (6,,0), (9,,3),(12,,6)) :}

Plot these points and draw a line through them:
