Question

The graph represents the piecewise function:

Answer 1

x+3; 5

Explanation:

The first piece, shows the diagonal part in Quadrant II.

The line segment is colinear with the line y=x+3, because the slope is 1, and the y-intercept is 3. So the piece would be defined as x+3.

The second line segment is the flat one, which has a slope of 0 and its y-intercept is 5. So the piece would be defined as 0x+5 or 5

Answer 2

x if -3is less than x is less than -1

5 is -1 is less than x is less than 1

Explanation:

You find the slope of the line for the first piece when the x-values range from -3 to -1.

For the second piece, the line is y=5 because the line is horizontal.
