Question

The graph of $y=\left|x\right|$ consists of a pair of straight lines lying

• A. To the left of $y$ axis
• B. Above $x$ axis
• C. Below $x$ axis
• D. To the right of $y$ axis

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Above $x$ axis

Explanation of the correct answer.

Compute the required condition:

Given: $y=\left|x\right|$

When $x$ is positive, the value of $y$ is positive.

When $x$ is negative, the value of $y$ is positive.

Let's plot the graph :

From the graph, we can see that graph is consist of a pair of straight lines lying above the $x$ axis.

Hence option $B$ is the correct answer.
