Simple....

x<6
This means that on your graph at 6 it's a circle (not colored in) and it goes to the left indefinitely...
Thus, your answer.
Use the linear slope formula to solve for m:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
using the points (-1,1) and (1,5) you can find the slope for the first interval:
m=(5-1)/(1-(-1))
m=4/2
m=2
you can double check by using the same formula on the second interval, which is (1,5) to (3,9).
m=(9-5)/(3-1)
m=4/2
m=2
therefore, the rate of change is 2.
Answer:
B. The absolute value parent function
Step-by-step explanation:

Referred to as absolute value, the value inside the bars is measured in terms of its distance from 0. Therefore:

In essence, a negative value within the bars becomes positive, while a positive value remains positive.
X=-1 is the answer. Hope that helps!
