Answer

$\bf \color {blue}{(2,0),(4,2),(0,2)}$

Work Step by Step

$$\bf{y=|x-2|}$$ $\bf \text{Lets plug in numbers to find three points}$ if $y=0$: $0=|x-2|$ $0=x-2$ or $0=-(x-2)$ $2=x$ or $-2=-x$ $x=2$ $\bf \color {blue}{(2,0)}$ if $y=2$: $2=|x-2|$ $2=x-2$ or $2=-x+2$ $x=4$ or $x=0$ $\bf \color {blue}{(4,2),(0,2)}$ So three of the points are: $\bf \color {blue}{(2,0),(4,2),(0,2)}$ Which we can graph as:
