The Unit Rate is the start of the slope/the y-intercept of the slope.To find that we need to make the slope first.
(shown in the first picture)
We can see that the slope is a linear function/a straight line, and if we just follow the line down the slope we can see that it has a y-intercept/unit rate of 2/3 of 1 whole.

Answer:
Domain: (-∞, -2) U [-2, 1] U (1, ∞)
Range: (-∞, 2) U [-3, -∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
This function is composed of three polynomial functions, a positive slope line , whose domain is all real numbers, a horizontal line, and a negative slope line
whose domain is all real numbers.
Observe in the attached graph that the function has a discontinuity in x = -2, it has a jump.
When x approaches -2 by the left hand, y tends to 2. But when x approaches -2 from the right y tends to -3.
In addition, the function comes from -∞, then has a maximum value at y = 2 and finally derece up to -∞
Then we can conclude that for this piecewise function:
Domain: (-∞, -2) U [-2, 1] U (1, ∞) All Real Numbers
Range: (-∞, 2) U [-3, -∞)
