It is usually sufficient to look at one section of the graph to answer a question like this. Often the best choice is the section that has a solid dot at the end of the curve. Here, that is the right section.
The left end of the right section is at x=-2, so that part of the function is defined for x ≥ -2. The line to the right has a positive slope, so the coefficient of x will be positive.
Only one answer choice has a positive x-coefficient for x ≥ -2.
This graph is made up of two different, separate line segments. In other words, it comes in two pieces which can be described as a pair of linear functions.
We call this a "piecewise linear" function. Choice A is the best one.
