Step-by-step explanation:
Our coordinates are (6, 0) and (0, -3).
We can use the formula (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) to find the slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
Now, we plug the coordinates into the formula and solve.
(0-(-3))/(6-0)
=3/6
=
So, the slope is .
Now, we have to find the y-intercept, which is the point where the line on the graph intersects with the y-axis.
We can find the y-intercept (which is represented by b) by plugging the information we already know into the formula.
We can use either pair of coordinates for the formula, so I'll use (6, 0).
y=mx+b
0=(6)+b
Now, we can solve.
0=3+b
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-3=b
The y-intercept is -3.
Answer:
y=x-3
Answer:
This translates to "y is any real number such that it is 0 or larger".
The reasoning is that the result of any absolute value function is either 0 or positive. In other words, we'll never get a negative result of an absolute value function. This is due to how absolute value represents distance. Negative distance does not make sense.
So if y = |x-3| then y = 0 is the smallest output possible. We could have any positive output we want.
In terms of a graph (see below), the V shape is at the lowest point (3,0). The y coordinate is all we care about in terms of finding the range. So we see the lowest y value is y = 0.
