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:
