Question 1156296: Draw the letter “W” on your axes, wherever you want on the coordinate system. You can include the origin in your graph or not, as you choose. Make sure that the endpoints of all legs of the W are at distinct points on the graph, and label the coordinates of those points. Make sure that there are at least
4 units of distance between each of the “corners” of the letter (distances don’t have to be whole units,just > 4 units). Write the piecewise-function definition of your graph. Include the sections of the Domain, and list the function definitions in order of the
sections of the Domain. Include one example of calculations you used in finding the function definitions.

Here is the way to find the equation of the line
connecting (-12,11) and (-7,-9) and where to put 
the right side of it in the piece-wise function.

Find the slope of the line from (-12,11) to (-7,-9)

 

Find the equation:



Here is how to place the right side of the equation of
that line in the piecewise function:



Now YOU do the same thing with the other lines and fill in 
where the question marks are.
