Draw the half lines in the first two quadrants given by the equations $x+-y=2$ , emanating from the common point (2, 0).

$y=|x-2|$ is the combined equation for the pair $y=+-(x-2)$ .

Here, $y = |x-2|>=0$

As $y>=0$ , the graph consists of the half lines in the first two

quadrants given by the equations $x+-y=2$ , emanating from the

common point (2, 0).

The graph of y is
