$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{15}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{9})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{9}-\stackrel{y1}{9}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{-2}-\underset{x_1}{15}}}\implies \cfrac{0}{-17}\implies 0 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{9}=\stackrel{m}{0}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{15})\implies y-9=0\implies y=9$

What is the range of the function below in set builder notation? y=|x-3|

Kisachek [45]

Answer: $\{y | \ y \in \mathbb{R}, \ y \ge 0\}$

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.
