Is there a way in finding the equation of the graph? I was given certain pictures of graph, i have to find the equations to them. How can i do this?

The methods used will vary with the information available. What do you have? What have you tried? What formulas and/or techniques are you supposed to use?

Please be specific. Thank you.

some of them are absolute value, parabolas...piecewise..functions..

If you are requesting instruction on generalized techniques for computing regressions and/or best-fit equations for various different types of relations and/or graphs, then this is well beyond what we can provide here.

You might want to consider hiring a tutor, local to your area. In face-to-face meetings, the tutor can see the pictures you are looking at, review your text to see the formulas and/or techniques you've been taught, and can step you through the process. A few hours a week should serve to get you caught up.

I'm sorry, but I'm on my way out for the evening. You might want to allow other volunteers to offer assistance, especially since the instructions I've attempted to provide haven't seemed to be helpful for you.
