Answer:
y = (3/2)x + 5.5
y = 3
y = -2x + 8
Explanation:
Left piece: points (-6, -3.5) and (-1, 4)
m = (-3.5 - 4)/(-6 + 1) = 3/2
y - 4 = (3/2)(x - (-1))
y - 4 = (3/2)(x + 1)
2y - 8 = 3x + 3
y = (3/2)x + 5.5
Middle piece: points (-1, 3) and (3, 3)
Horizontal line.
y = 3
Right piece: points (3, 2) and (6, -4)
m = (-4 - 2)/(6 - 3) = -6/3 = -2
y = mx + b
2 = -2(3) + b
b = 8
y = -2x + 8
Answer:
y = (3/2)x + 5.5
y = 3
y = -2x + 8
