Equation 2 is a square root function, kind of like half of a sideways parabola, Equation 3 is a parabola, and 4 is a cubic function (s-shaped). This leaves Equation 1, which is a line with a slope of 2 with a y-intercept at 7. So I'd say the answer is 1.
The piece-wise linear functions can be written as follows:

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
For x equal or less than -2, the line passes through (-3,-3) and (-2,-2), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than -2 up to 1, the y-intercept is of -7, and the line also passes through (1,-8), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than 1, the function goes through (2,-5) and (3,-3), hence the slope is:
m = (-3 - (-5))(3 - 2) = 2.
The rule is:
y = 2x + b.
When x = 2, y = -5, hence:
-5 = 2(2) + b
b = -9.
Hence:
.

Answer:
b = 6.928
Step-by-step explanation:
Looks like a job for the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
4^2 + b^2 = 8^2
16 + b^2 = 64
b^2 = 48
b = 6.928
Hope it helps!!
First distribute the 2, then add 7 to that side, so you have 2g+17=-4g+g , subtract 2g and it should be easy to find from there lol
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Common denominator: 18
-14/18 + 11/18
= -3/18
Reduce:
-1/6
