Problem 4
<h3>Answer:</h3>------------------
Work Shown:
The left line goes through (-2,0) and (0,4)
The slope of this line is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (4-0)/(0-(-2))
m = (4-0)/(0+2)
m = 4/2
m = 2
The y intercept is b = 4
Since m = 2 and b = 4, this means y = mx+b turns into y = 2x+4. This portion is only done when x < 1. Note the open circle at the endpoint of this portion. So we do not include x = 1 as part of this piece.

The line on the right side goes through (1,-2) and (2,-1)
Slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-1-(-2))/(2-1)
m = (-1+2)/(2-1)
m = 1/1
m = 1
The y intercept is b = -3. You can see this if you extend the line until it crosses the y axis.
Alternatively, plug in (x,y) = (1,-2) and m = 1 into y = mx+b to find that b = -3
So y = mx+b turns into y = 1x+(-3) or just y = x-3
We combine both parts to end up with
This is only graphed when (note the closed or filled in circle for the endpoint of this portion).

Problem 5
Answer:
<h3>------------------
Work Shown:
y = |x| .... parent function
y = |x+3| ... shift 3 units to the left
y = (1/2)*|x+3| .... vertically compress by factor of 1/2
f(x) = (1/2)*|x+3|
------
Break that down into a piecewise function
when x < -3, then y = -(1/2)(x+3)
when , then y = (1/2)(x+3)
I'm using the rule that y = |x| turns into y = -x when x < 0 and y = x when
So that is how we get as the piecewise function.
The slope within two sets of points is calculated using the slope equation
The slope of a line or points is the rate of change of the line.
This in other words means that, the vertical change per unit horizontal change
Assume that the points are given as:
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
The slope (m) of the points is:
Hence, the equation of two sets of points is
