    Marta just made me a great home cooked meal; fried and breaded liver, mashed potatoes with gravy, fresh whole corn, iced tea and a kolachi (sp?)for desert... she understands me...

    Sorry Sheriff. I'm just not a fan of liver. I've had many people tell me that... if you just try my liver the way I make it, you'll LOVE it! Uhmmm, nope... still liver no matter what the recipe is! ;) But I'm sure if you like it, Marta makes it great! I have no idea what kolachi is!! Whatever it is, I'm glad you loved it all... she takes good care of you!

    Mkay whew... Just go with me with [ Being an absolute value sign

    Basicially... Its taking an AV equation and turning it into a graph

    the equation is y=2[x-1]-3 with taking [x-1]-3 and turning that into a point which would be the vertex in this case it would be 1,-3 because u divide 1 into 1x to get the x point and the -3 for your Y. Not that's all n easy but do I do with the 2 in front of the [

    If your confused I'll rewrite the question. I'm kind of rushed atm

    Guy...

    With absolute value, if there is a coefficient on the absolute value signs it just changes the steepness of the graph, or the slope of the lines...

    so 2[x-1] would have a slope of 2. 1/2[x-1] would have a slope of 1/2.

    Got it?

    I think I sort of understand what you're saying.

    putting this in vertex form... let's just make (x - 1)... into a t

    t = |x - 1|

    so now, you have y = 2t - 3

    this way, you have the vertex form.

    so yes, you're right that 1, -3 is the vertex... and can be easily checked by actually plugging in a few numbers (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3) for x.

    And if you use Sneezys method of plugging numbers in, you can take two of the points you get, check the slope, and it comes out to 2... for the record :)

    IE: x = -2; y=-9
    x = -1; y=-7

    m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
    = (-7)-(-9) / (-1)-(-2)
    = -7 + 9 / -1 + 2
    = 2 / 1

    So yeah, I'm sure :)

    Hm... I get it but not really.. Because I'm talking to you but I'm also talking to a friend who's in my class

    Matthew says:
    just go up 2 spaces
    Matthew says:
    and across 1
    Eddie says:
    what about 2 in front?
    Matthew says:
    It's the slope of the line
    Matthew says:
    apprently
    Eddie says:
    slope's 1.
    Eddie says:
    which is by the x.
    Matthew says:
    are you sure?
    Matthew says:
    not always
    Eddie says:
    I don't know

    .. I'm getting 2 different answerse from 2 asains xD
