What is the domain and range
### Domain and Range of a Function

This image illustrates the domain and range of a function using a graph. Below is a detailed explanation of the graph presented.

#### Graph Description

1. **Axes**:
   - The horizontal axis (x-axis) ranges from -9 to 9.
   - The vertical axis (y-axis) ranges from -9 to 9.

2. **Function Representation**:
   - The graph displays a continuous function with two distinct parts:
     - A line with a negative slope on the left side of the y-axis that extends from the point (-4, 1) downwards through the origin and continues indefinitely towards (-∞,-∞).
     - A line with a positive slope on the right side of the y-axis starting from the point (1, -3) upwards, continuing indefinitely towards (∞,∞).

3. **Key Points**:
   - An important aspect of the graph is that the function is divided into two sections, one in the negative and the other in the positive x-axis territory.

4. **Visual Elements**:
   - Arrows at the endpoints of each part of the function indicate that the function continues indefinitely in those directions.

This graph helps illustrate the concept of the domain and range for a given function, providing a visual aid to understand which x-values (domain) and y-values (range) are covered by the function. The continuous nature of the lines suggests that all real numbers within the specified range are included in both the domain and range of this function. 

#### Interactive Elements

On the left side of the graph, there are controls provided for educational interaction:
- There is a slider to adjust and visualize the function, along with some instructional text guiding users on how to manipulate the graph for a better understanding of the domain and range concepts.
