Answer:

Answer D: f(-2) = 2

Explanation:

To evaluate f(-2) we need to find what is the y-value that the graph shows for the x-value "-2".

To find such, we look for the value x = -2 on the horizontal (x) axis (located two units to the left of the origin of coordinates (0,0)), and from there, we investigate at what y-value (value on the vertical y-axis) a line that follows the vertical grid passing through x = -2, intercepts the graph of the function.

That is pictured with a red dot in the attached image. Notice that the y-value at which such intersection occurs is y = 2.

Therefore f(-2) = 2
