EasyOriginal question

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. A modulus has its corner where its inside is 0.

  2. 2x−5=02x - 5 = 0 at x=52x = \frac{5}{2}; there the slope changes from −2-2 to 2.

Worth noting

5 reads off the constant in 2x−52x - 5 without dividing by the 2 in front of xx.
