Answer:

It will look like a V

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that absolute value functions have both a positive and negative output. So, the absolute minimum of the function (starting point) is (0,0). From there, it forms a "V" shape, through two lines with a slope of 1 going through (1,1) and (-1,1). So, the right side of y axis goes from (0,0), (1,1), (2,2) etc, and the left side goes from (0,0), (-1,1), (-2, 2), etc.

Again, the end product should look like two straight lines forming a "V" ABOVE THE x axis!

I highly recommend going on Desmos graphing and plugging in your function. It's a great FREE resource that will help you visualize functions!
