1. The sliders for y = ax + b have been set to create the following graph. What are possible values for a and b?

The slope of the line is m = 2 and the y-intercept b = 2
Therefore, the equation for the graph is
[tex]y=-2|x|+2[/tex]meaning a = -2 and b = 2.
(The negative sign in front of the absolute value drags the graph below the y = 0 )
