Question
**Determine the amplitude of the following graph.**

This image presents a graph of a periodic function. The horizontal axis (x-axis) is marked with values representing multiples of π, ranging from \(- \frac{4π}{3}\) to \(\frac{4π}{3}\). The vertical axis (y-axis) is labeled from -5 to 5. 

The function plotted on the graph oscillates above and below the x-axis, indicating the characteristic pattern of a trigonometric function like sine or cosine.

### Detailed Analysis:
1. **X-Axis Units:**
   - The x-axis includes specific points marked as \(- \frac{4π}{3}\), \(- π\), \(- \frac{π}{2} \),  0, \( \frac{π}{2} \), \( π \), \(\frac{3π}{2}\), \(2π\).
  
2. **Y-Axis Units:**
   - The y-axis ranges from -5 to 5 in increments of 1.

3. **Wave Characteristics:**
   - The peaks and valleys of the wave are key to determining the amplitude.
   - The highest points (peaks) of the wave reach a value of 1 on the y-axis.
   - The lowest points (valleys) of the wave dip down to -1 on the y-axis.

### Amplitude Calculation:
The amplitude of a wave is the distance from the center line (equilibrium position) to a peak or a valley. In this graph:

- The center line is at y = 0.
- The peak is at y = 1.
- The valley is at y = -1.

Hence, the amplitude (A) is:

\[ A = \text{Peak} - \text{Center Line} = 1 - 0 = 1 \]

\[ A = \text{Valley} - \text{Center Line} = -1 - 0 = 1 \]

Therefore, the amplitude of the given graph is 1.
