Answer:
Explanation:
The graph is v-shaped and has TWO slopes, one for the segment of the graph to the right of x = 5 and one for the segment to the left.
Start by simplifying the given 4|x-5|=12. Dividing both sides by 4, we get:
|x-5|=3
This has two solutions. One stems from x - 5 = 3 and is x = 8
The other stems from -(x - 5) = 3, or -x + 5 = 3, or -x = -2, or x = 2.
Since there is only one variable here (x), the concept of "slope" is meaningless here.
