Transformation of Graphs
The word ‘transformation’ means modification. Transformation of the graph of a function is a process by which we modify or change the original graph and make a new graph.
Exponential Functions
The exponential function is a type of mathematical function which is used in real-world contexts. It helps to find out the exponential decay model or exponential growth model, in mathematical models. In this topic, we will understand descriptive rules, concepts, structures, graphs, interpreter series, work formulas, and examples of functions involving exponents.
Question

Transcribed Image Text: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).
