Question

A graph plots two points at (negative 7, 8) and (negative 2, negative 9) on the x y coordinate plane. A diagonal curve connects both points.


What is the range of the function shown on the graph above?
A.


B.


C.


D.

Answer 1

To determine the range of the function shown on the graph with the points \((-7, 8)\) and \((-2, -9)\), we need to look at the \(y\)-values of the endpoints and any other \(y\)-values that might occur on the curve that connects these two points.

1. The first point \((-7, 8)\) has a \(y\)-value of 8.
2. The second point \((-2, -9)\) has a \(y\)-value of -9.

Assuming that the diagonal curve is continuous and behaves smoothly between these two points, the graph will include every \(y\)-value from the maximum \(y\)-value (8) to the minimum \(y\)-value (-9).

Thus, the range of the function would be:

\[
[-9, 8]
\]

This means the range includes all \(y\)-values from \(-9\) to \(8\), inclusive.

So, if you have options listed (A, B, C, D) representing different ranges, look for the one that matches \([-9, 8]\).
