Question

Whats the table for y=-4|x-5|+3
how to solve absolute value function with a table and graph

Answer 1

For a table for x and y values for this absolute value equation, it would look like this:

x --- y

3 --- (-5)

4 --- (-1)

5 --- 3

6 --- (-1)

7 --- (-5)

Explanation:

When you are building a table for an absolute value graph, you start with the base formula for absolute value equations:

y = a|x-h| + k

In this equation (h, k) is the vertex and therefore the middle point. From there we go two numbers in each direction for our x values. And for every change in x, y changes by a factor of a.
