Answer:


Explanation:

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the "Ray Tool."

The "absolute value function" has a v-shaped graph that opens up and has its vertex at (0,0). Plot a dark dot at (0,0). Starting with your pencil point on this dot, move 1 unit to the right and then 1 unit up. This represents a slope of 1/1, or simply 1. Draw a straight line with slope 1 starting with the black dot at (0,0) and continuing upward and to the right.

Then reflect this line across the y-axis. This 2nd line will have a slope of -1.

I'm including a short table of values that may help you with this graphing:

x y = |x| (x, y)

0 0 (0,0)

1 1 (1,1)

2 2

5 5

-1 1

-3 3 (-3,3)

and so on.
