Question

Graph the ordered-pair solutions of y = |x + 4| when x = −5, −3, 0, 3, and 5.

Answer 1

We will have the following:

First, we determine the points and then we graph them, that is:

*x = -5:

`y=|-5+4|\Rightarrow y=|-1|`
`\Rightarrow y=1`

*x = -3:

`y=|-3+4|\Rightarrow y=|1|`
`\Rightarrow y=1`

*x = 0:

`y=|0+4|\Rightarrow y=|4|`
`\Rightarrow y=4`

*x = 3:

`y=|3+4|\Rightarrow y=|7|`
`\Rightarrow y=7`

*x = 5:

`y=|5+4|\Rightarrow y=|9|`
`\Rightarrow y=9`

Now, we will graph the ordered pairs:
