Transcribed Image Text:The graph below is the function \( f(x) \).
### Description of the Graph:
- The graph is plotted on a coordinate plane with \( x \)-axis ranging from -5 to 5 and \( y \)-axis ranging from -5 to 5.
- There is a line segment that slopes downward from the point (-5, 5) to the point (2, -3).
- At \( x = 2 \), there is a sharp change in the graph's direction, creating a vertex at the point (2, -3).
- From the point (2, -3), another line segment slopes upward to the right, passing through points like (3, -2) and (5, 0).
### Mathematical Details:
- The limit of \( f(x) \) as \( x \) approaches 2 is indicated, with a blank box for the value.
- The value of \( f(2) \) is also requested, with a blank box for the value.
### Tasks:
- Determine the limit of \( f(x) \) as \( x \rightarrow 2 \).
- Calculate the value of \( f(2) \).
This graph represents a piecewise linear function where the slope and direction change at \( x = 2 \).
