Any help with this would be great!

Graph this absolute value equation. |x + 1| - 2 = y
A chart has been provided for your use.

x- y-

surely you can plot points, given an actual chart!?!

like i said, im totally lost. i can graph the numbers, i just need the numbers, and i cant figure it out :/

To graph the absolute value equation |x + 1| - 2 = y, we can start by creating a chart and plugging in different values for x to find corresponding values for y. Let's start with some values for x.

Choose a range of x values that you would like to use for your chart. For example, let's use x = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3.

Now, we can find the corresponding values for y using the equation |x + 1| - 2 = y.

For x = -3:
|(-3) + 1| - 2 = |-2| - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0
So, when x = -3, y = 0.

For x = -2:
|(-2) + 1| - 2 = |-1| - 2 = 1 - 2 = -1
So, when x = -2, y = -1.

For x = -1:
|(-1) + 1| - 2 = |0| - 2 = 0 - 2 = -2
So, when x = -1, y = -2.

For x = 0:
|(0) + 1| - 2 = |1| - 2 = 1 - 2 = -1
So, when x = 0, y = -1.

For x = 1:
|(1) + 1| - 2 = |2| - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0
So, when x = 1, y = 0.

For x = 2:
|(2) + 1| - 2 = |3| - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1
So, when x = 2, y = 1.

For x = 3:
|(3) + 1| - 2 = |4| - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2
So, when x = 3, y = 2.

Now, we can plot these points on the graph.
