CPM Homework Help : CCAA Problem 9-119

Make a table and graph the rule $y = \sqrt { x - 2 }$ that includes $x$ -values from $−1$ to $10$ . Graph the rule on graph paper.

Hint:

Make the table first. Then plot points using the table. You will have to use decimal approximations for many of the $y$ -values in order to plot all the points. This rule does not form a line.

More Help:

There will be no values for $x < 2$ .

Answer:

A curved graph that begins at (2,comma 0) and increases as x increases.
