Draw the graph of y = |x|.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

We know that y = |x| means that y always remains positive

y = x, x ≥ 0

y = -x, x ≤ 0

Now, for values greater than 0, we get,

At x = 2, y = 2

At x = 5, y = 5

Now, values less than 0, we get,

At x = -2, y = 5

At x = -5, y = 5

Therefore, plotting the graph we get,
