graph a function an explain it

Question

If I were to graph this function:

f(x) = -|6x | + 2

In words how would I describe what I see on the graph?

 I can graph it but I don't know how to explain it.....

Answer 1

f(x) = -|6x| + 2

f(x) = -6x + 2 if x >= 0
f(x) = 6x + 2 if x < 0

Thus, when x >= 0, f(x) is the same as the line y = -6x + 2.
However, when x < 0, f(x) is the same as the line y = 6x + 2.
