The absolute value function |<em>x</em>| always returns a non-negative number. It takes any number <em>x</em> and returns <em>x</em> if it's already non-negative, or -<em>x</em> if it is negative in order to make it positive.
For the equation
-3 + 4 |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 14
rearrange terms to get
|2<em>x</em> - 5| = 17/4
Now,
• if 2<em>x</em> - 5 ≥ 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 2<em>x</em> - 5. Then
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
• and if instead 2<em>x</em> - 5 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = -(2<em>x</em> - 5), so that
-(2<em>x</em> - 5) = 17/4, or
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
In the first case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
2<em>x</em> = 17/4 + 5 = 37/4
<em>x</em> = 37/8
In the second case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
2<em>x</em> = -17/4 + 5 = 3/4
<em>x</em> = 3/8
Answer:
y =
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for a linear graph is usually written in the following format...
y = mx + b
Where m would be the slope, usually referring to rise over run and b would be the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). From the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at point 3 so b would be 3. The graph also shows us that for every 1 value that the line rises it moves to the right 2 values. Therefore, the slope would be 1/2. Using these values we can create the following equation...
y =
