Math Problem Statement
Graph of y=|1-x|
Solution
The graph of the function consists of two linear segments due to the absolute value function. Here's how it breaks down:
- For : The absolute value term becomes , resulting in a line with a negative slope (-1).
- For : The absolute value term becomes , resulting in a line with a positive slope (1).
The graph has a V-shape, with the vertex (the point where the two lines meet) at .
Would you like me to generate this graph for you? If so, I can do it right away.

Tip: When graphing absolute value functions, always look for where the expression inside the absolute value equals zero—this gives you the "turning point" of the V-shape.
