ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given function is a piecewise defined function.

is the y-value that corresponds to

To determine that y-value, we need to trace from

to where it meets the graph.
We then trace to the y-axis to determine the corresponding y-value as shown in the diagram.
From the graph, we can see that this x-value corresponds to a y-value of

This implies that, when

Therefore

See graph.
Answer:
y = 3.5x - 12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the slope using rise over run (y2 - y1 / x2 - x1) with the 2 points:
(-2 - 5) / (3 - 5)
-7/-2
= 3.5
Then, plug the slope and a point into y = mx + b to solve for b:
y = mx + b
5 = 3.5(5) + b
5 = 17.5 + b
-12.5 = b
Plug the slope and the y intercept into the equation y = mx + b
y = 3.5x - 12.5 will be the equation
