Work Step by Step

determine the equation of the line passing through the points $(-2,-2)$ and $(2,2)$: $y-2=\dfrac{2-(-2)}{2-{-2}}(x-2)$ $y-2=x-2$ $y=x$ The formula for the piece-wise function graph is as follows: $f(x)=$ $\begin{cases} -2 & \text{if} & x \lt -2\\ x & \text{if} & -2\leq x \leq 2\\ 2 & \text{if} & x \gt 2 \end{cases}$
