Exercise 9 Page 543

Make a table of values. Notice that the graph of the absolute value function is a V-shaped graph.

Practice makes perfect

To graph the absolute value function y=|x|, let's make a table of values first!

x	\|x\|	y=\|x\|
-3	\| -3\|	3
-1	\| -1\|	1
0	\| 0\|	0
1	\| 1\|	1
3	\| 3\|	3

We will plot these ordered pairs on a coordinate plane and connect them to get the graph of y. Recall that function f(x)=|x| is V-shaped.

x	\|x\|	y=\|x\|
-3	\| -3\|	3
-1	\| -1\|	1
0	\| 0\|	0
1	\| 1\|	1
3	\| 3\|	3
