Moderate -0.3 This is a straightforward graph sketching question requiring knowledge that ln|x| creates an even function with a vertical asymptote at x=0, symmetric about the y-axis, and no x-axis intercepts (since ln|x|=0 only at x=±1). It's slightly easier than average as it combines two basic transformations (modulus and logarithm) with no calculation required beyond identifying x=±1 as intersection points.
5. Sketch the graph of $y = \ln | x |$, stating the coordinates of any points of intersection with the axes.\\
