options: Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes.

Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Consider the equation
$${ {|x|=5}}$$
.
This can be thought of as a system of equations, where
$${f(x)=\left | x \right |}$$
$${{g(x)}=5}$$
and
$${f(x)={g(x)}}$$
Graph
$${f(x) }$$
and
$${g(x)}$$
in the coordinate plane. Based on the graph, what are the solutions to
$${|x|=5}$$
?
Problem 2
For each absolute value equation below, answer the questions that follow.
$${|x|=-4}$$
$${ |x|=0}$$
$${ |x|=4}$$
How many solutions are there for
$$x$$
in each equation?
Thinking of each equation as two equal functions (similar to Anchor Problem #1), what does each one look like in the coordinate plane? Where do you see the solution(s)?
Problem 3
Solve each absolute value equation algebraically and verify the solution graphically.
$${|x+2|=8}$$
$${|x|+2=8}$$
$${|x+2|+1=0}$$
