+1450 Given that x < 5, rewrite 5x - | x - 5 | without using absolute value signs.
Thanks!
+128448 Since l a l = √ a^2....we can write
y = 5x - l x - 5 l =
y = 5x - √ (x - 5)^2
P.S. - I don't know if this is exactly what you want, or not.....!!!!
+1450 Thanks, your answer was right but it turns out the form wanted was 6x-5 :/
+128448 OK..... I thought that might be the other form that you wanted....let me show you how to get this
We have two points on the line (0, -5) and ( 1,1)
The slope between these points is [ 1 - -5 ] / [ 1 - 0 ] = 6/1 = 6
Now ....using (0, -5) we have that
y - (-5) = 6 (x - 0)
y + 5 = 6x
y = 6x - 5
