Question

Graph the equation by plotting points.x = |y| - 5

Answer 1

First, clear the x to make the conventional form:

`x=\left|y\right|-5`
`\left|y\right|-5=x`
`\left|y\right|-5+5=x+5`
`\left|y\right|=x+5`

Now graph like a normal equation but remember that an absolute value has the reflection of the equation by the x-axis.

So the answer is:

B.
