Concept explainers
To determine the relationship between the slopes of the two parts of an absolute value function.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
An absolute value function.
The general form of an absolute value function is
The graph of
The graph of
We can increase or decrease the slope of an absolute value function by altering the coefficient of the absolute value term.
The left and right sides of the function’s graph will have the slopes with same number but opposite signs.
Conclusion:
The slopes of the two parts of an absolute value function are
