f(x) = x

[edit | edit source]

Let f(x)=y . Then the value of y for all x are

x: -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
y: -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
Plot these x,y gives a graph of a straight line which has positive slope of 1 that pass through origin at (0,0)

f(x) = -x

Let f(x)=y . Then the value of y for all x are

x: -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
y: 3 2 1 0 1 2 3


Plot these x,y gives a graph of a straight line which has negative slope of 1 that pass through origin at (0,0)
