Question

The graph of the equation y=|x| is shown in the diagram below. Which diagram could represent a graph of the equation y=a|x| when -1

Answer 1

From the question;

We are given the equation

`y=|x|`

The graph of the equation is given as

We are to find the graph of the equation

`y=a|x|`

Given that

[tex]-1This means that a will be negative

Hence the value of a can be -0.5

Plotting the graph with a = -0.5

we have the following graph

Hence, the graph above is the right answer
