This is an example of a piecewise defined function. It means that the function has not a unique formula to represent it, but it depends on "where" you want to compute it.
So, if you choose any input 
, you have two alternative:
- If
(i.e., if you've chosen any input that is not 3), the output will be the opposite of the input you've chosen (
) - If
, the ouput will be -1.
So, let's forget about 
for a moment. For any input you choose, the answer is 
. The graph of this function is the bisector of the second and fourth quadrant.
Now remember that there is our special case: you have to "carve a hole" in our line, at , and assing to this point the value -1, instead of what we would expect, i.e. -3.
So, the graph of this function is the line , except for one point (), where we reassign the value to be -1.
Answer:
B. 3.14
C. .33
E. 3.46
remember rational number are can be measured from decimals and even fractions.
Answer:
-5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Use slope formula:
Given 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) Slope is
y2-y1/x2-x1
The x intercept is 2, the point would be (2,0)
The y intercept is 5, the point would be (0,5)
So you can do (5-0)/(0-2) which is 5/-2 which then would be -5/2
True. Two lines intersect in a single point.
(4,-3) does not pass through the graph
If you put (4, -3) into the equation you get 18
If you put (4/3, -1) into the equation you get 6
If you put (-2, -6) into the equation you get 6
