Answers:
Domain = [-3, 3]
Range = [-1, 2]
=============================================
Explanation:
The domain is the set of all allowed x inputs. Visually, the left-most point is when x = -3, so -3 is the smallest allowed x input. We have a closed circle at this endpoint, so this endpoint x value is included. In contrast, if you had an open circle, then you would exclude the endpoint.
Similarly, we have a closed endpoint at the other side as well when x = 3. This is the largest allowed x value. The domain is the set of x values such that meaning x is between -3 and 3, including both endpoints. This translates to the interval notation of [-3, 3]. The square brackets say "include the endpoint".
------------
The range is the set of possible y outputs of a function. The lowest the function goes is when y = -1, and the highest is when y = 2. We include both endpoints. The range as a compound inequality is which converts to the interval notation of [-1, 2]

check the picture below.
so, those are the points, now, the line of symmetry, the red one, is the line that will cut the vertex is half and will be perpendicular to the opposite side.
now, the slope of the black line we can just get it off the grid, notice the rise and run, rise/run = 6/6 = 1.
now a perpendicular line to that one will have a negative reciprocal slope, thus
so the slope of that perpendicular line will be -1, so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1 and runs through -6,3.
