Question
for the following graph of a piecewise function can anyone fill in the missing values; the equation the inequality, or interval notation?
### Piecewise Function and Graph Explanation

#### Function Definition
This piecewise function graph represents \( f(x) \) defined by different expressions based on the value of \( x \). 

\[ 
f(x) = 
\begin{cases} 
2x - 3, & \text{if } x < -2 \\[5pt]
- \frac{1}{3} x + 4, & \text{if } -2 \leq x < 3 
\end{cases}
\]

#### Equations and Corresponding Intervals
- \( 2x - 3 \): Defined for \( x < -2 \).
- \(- \frac{1}{3} x + 4 \): Defined for \( -2 \le x < 3 \).

#### Graph Description
The graph presented overlaid on the coordinate plane shows a piecewise function composed of two linear segments.

1. **Segment 1**: 
    - **Equation**: \( 2x - 3 \)
    - **Inequality**: \( x < -2 \)
    - This segment starts from the left of the graph and continues up to the vertical line at \( x = -2 \). At \( x = -2 \), there's an open circle indicating the function is not defined at that exact point.

2. **Segment 2**:
    - **Equation**: \( - \frac{1}{3}x + 4 \)
    - **Inequality**: \( -2 \leq x < 3 \)
    - This segment begins (including the point) from \( x = -2 \) and continues to \( x = 3 \). At \( x = 3 \), there's an open circle indicating the function is not defined at that exact point.

#### Detailed Graph Analysis
- **X-Axis (Horizontal)**: Range from -10 to 10.
- **Y-Axis (Vertical)**: Range from -10 to 10.
- **Points**:
   - The end of first segment \( (x = -2) \) is marked with an open circle at the point where \( 2x - 3 \) ends.
   - The start of the second segment at \( (x = -2) \) is a filled circle indicating inclusion of that endpoint.
   - At \( x = 3 \), the second segment ends
