Question
The graph is a piecewise linear graph consisting of two lines that form a "V" shape, both with arrows indicating they extend indefinitely. Here's a detailed description:

1. **Axes:** 
   - The graph is on a standard Cartesian plane with the x-axis and y-axis labeled, extending from -3 to 9 on the x-axis and -6 to 6 on the y-axis.

2. **Lines:**
   - The left line starts from the top left (approximately at (-3, 6)) and descends at a constant rate to the point (2, 0).
   - The right line starts at (2, 0) and ascends to the top right (approximately at (9, 6)).

3. **Point of Intersection:** The two lines intersect at the point (2, 0), creating a "V" shape.

4. **Arrows:**
   - Both lines have arrows on their ends, indicating the lines continue indefinitely in their respective directions.

5. **Task:** The task is to use the graph to find the y-value that corresponds to x = -1 for the function, completing the ordered-pair solution (-1, _).

To solve this, we find the y-value where the vertical line x = -1 intersects the graph. The intersection occurs at y = 3. Therefore, the complete ordered pair is (-1, 3).
