To create an absolute value equation based on a graph, we generally need key information such as the vertex of the graph and any shifts or transformations applied to the basic absolute value function \( y = |x| \).
Since I don't have the specific table or graph you are referencing, I can provide a generic structure for an absolute value equation. Here's how to form such an equation:
-
Identify the vertex (h, k): This is the point where the graph of the absolute value function changes direction. If the vertex is at \((h, k)\), the equation of the absolute value function will be shifted horizontally by \( h \) and vertically by \( k \).
-
Form the equation: The absolute value function can be represented in the form: \[ y = a |x - h| + k \] where \( a \) affects the width and direction (if \( a \) is negative, the graph opens downwards) of the V-shape, \( h \) is the x-coordinate of the vertex, and \( k \) is the y-coordinate of the vertex.
-
Create your specific equation: If you know the values for \( a \), \( h \), and \( k \), you can substitute them into the structure above to get your absolute value equation.
Without the table or any specific graph information, I can’t provide a specific equation. If you can share the relevant values or details from the table, I can help you derive the exact equation!
