TopicModulus function
TypeSketch y=|linear| then solve equation or inequality (numeric coefficients)
DifficultyEasy -1.8 This is a straightforward recall question requiring only the basic definition of modulus and the ability to sketch a V-shaped graph with vertex at x=3/2. It involves minimal calculation and is a standard textbook exercise with no problem-solving element, making it significantly easier than average A-level questions.
Spec1.02s Modulus graphs: sketch graph of |ax+b|

4 Sketch the graph of \(y = | 2 x - 3 |\).
