Answer:
y = 2 for x < 0
x for 0 ≤ x < 3
3 for x ≥ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph attached,
Equation of line (1),
y = 2
Where x < 0
Let the equation of line (2) is,
y = mx + b
y-intercept 'b' = 0 [line (2) passes through origin]
Slope of the line 'm' = [tex]\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex]
= 1
Therefore, equation of line (2) will be,
y = x
where 0 ≤ x < 3
Equation of line (3) will be,
y = 3
Where x ≥ 3
Therefore, piecewise linear function will be,
y = 2 for x < 0
x for 0 ≤ x < 3
3 for x ≥ 3
