Answer 1

I don't have the graph—could you upload the image or describe the two pieces (their shapes and at least two points on each piece, and whether the point at x = −1 is filled or open)?

If the pieces are lines, you can find each expression by:
- For a line piece, pick two clear points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on that piece.
- Compute slope m = (y2 − y1)/(x2 − x1).
- Use y − y1 = m(x − x1) to get y = mx + b.

Also tell me whether the value at x = −1 is taken from the left piece (closed dot on left), from the right piece (closed dot on right), or defined separately. With the graph or those details I will fill in the two expressions.
