That's made of two functions y = 2x+1 and y = -x-1 The cut off number is 0. Pick two values of x greater than the cut-off number 0 and substitute them into y = 2x+1 x | y 1 | 3 2 | 5 Plot those two points and draw a line through them only to the RIGHT of the cut off point: Pick two values of x less than the cut-off number 0 and substitute them into y = -x-1 x | y -2 | 1 -3 | 2 Plot those two points and draw a line through them only to the LEFT of the cut off point 0. Put an open circle at the end of the one that does not include 0 and a closed circle at the end of the one that does include 0. Edwin
