Question

On a coordinate plane, a line with a 90-degree angle crosses the y-axis at (0, 1), the x-axis at (1, 0), turns at (3, negative 2), and crosses the x-axis at (5, 0). What is the lowest value of the range of the function shown on the graph?

Answer 1

Answer:

$y_{min}$ = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Line goes through (0,1) and (1,0) has slope m = $\frac{0-1}{1-0}$ = -1 , because slope is negative, the line is going down. Then, it makes 90° turn and goes up with new slope m = 1 . y = - 2 is the lowest value of the range of the function.

just FYI

The equation of the function is y = | x - 3 | - 2 and the range of the function is [- 2, ∞)
