Answer

The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The equation y=|x| is an absolute value line with the vertex point (0,0). Multiplying the values 2 and 4 with |x| gives the absolute value line. And dividing the value by 2 gives the extended absolute value line. Therefore, the equation y=1/4|x| gives the extended absolute value, and the equation y=5|x| gives a compressed absolute value line.
