Answer:

Explanation:

When the x is -3, this is the equation. y = |-3| - 5.

The absolute value of -3, |-3| is 3 because that is how far away it is from 0.

So our equation is now this: y = 3-5. 3 - 5 is -2, so

y = -2

Let's do another one.

y = |1| - 5

The absolute value of 1, |1| is still 1 because that is how far away from 0 it is.

Our equation is now this. y = 1 - 5. 1 - 5 is -4, so

y = -4

Hope this helps!

Ok, y=x-5 so the numbers on the right
In this case x-5 take all of the numbers and subtract 5, the answer will be on the left side.
-3 -8
-1 -6
0 -5
1 -4
3 -2
