Question

Use integer values of x from -3 to 3 to graph the equation. y = 1/3 ∣x∣ - 2

Answer 1

$y=\dfrac{1}{3}|x|-2\\\\for\x=-3\to y=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot|-3|-2=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot3=1-2=-1\to(-3;\ -1)\\\\for\ x=0\to y=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot|0|-2=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot0-2=-2\to(0;\ -2)\\\\for\ x=3\to y=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot|3|-2=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot3-2=1-2=-1\to(3;\ -1)$
