this week in pre cal 11, I learned how to graph absolute values. We already know that when you have an absolute value it can’t be negative, the same goes for when you are graphing it, the graph can’t go into the negative section. This means that when you graph a line you have to take the part that is INV the negative area and reflect it up so its positive.

In this example you can see that the dotted line is the part of the graph that would have continued into the negative area. Instead of it going negative the line was reflected into the positive area to make a V shape.
