Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane's axes range from negative 10 to 10 by 1-unit increments. Two rays are plotted. The first ray starts from an open endpoint, while the second ray starts from a closed endpoint.

Choose the correct piecewise function.

Based on the description of the rays and the provided options, the correct piecewise function seems to be:

y = { -2, x < 0 3, x ≥ 0

This corresponds to the rays starting from an open endpoint for the first ray (at y = -2 for x < 0) and a closed endpoint for the second ray (at y = 3 for x ≥ 0).

However, please double-check the specific conditions regarding the endpoints for absolute confirmation, especially which rays are open or closed at their endpoints.
