Question

How do you graph `Y=[x]-5`?

Answer 1

As shown below...

Explanation:

In this case i will assume that you mean `[x] -= |x|`

Now we must graph `y= |x|` first of all...

This just mean the line `y = x` but where there are any negative values of `y` we make them there possitive counterpart...

`y = |x| :`
graph{y =|x| [-9.67, 10.33, -3.56, 6.44]}

Now we can just perform the tranformation of shiting it down by `5`:

`y = |x| -5`:

graph{y = |x| -5 [-9.295, 10.705, -8.16, 1.84]}
