**College Algebra - Section 2.6 Homework**

**Question 5, 2.6.17 (Part 1 of 5)**

**HW Score: 78% | Points: 0 of ?**

For the piecewise linear function, find:

- (a) \( f(-4) \)
- (b) \( f(-2) \)
- (c) \( f(0) \)
- (d) \( f(2) \)
- (e) \( f(4) \)

The function is defined as:

\[ 
f(x) = 
  \begin{cases} 
   3x & \text{if } x \leq -2 \\
   x - 4 & \text{if } x > -2 \\
  \end{cases} 
\]

(a) \( f(-4) = \) [ ]
