Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

_____

Additional comment

In this case, we assume the arrows at the ends of the curve mean the curve continues in the same fashion (same period and amplitude) as the part shown. For some graphs, arrows at the ends of the curve mean the graph extends to infinity in that direction.
