Question 51117: I don't know if this is under the correct subject.
I have to graph a piecewise function.
f(x)=
{1/2x-5}, if x < -2
{5x+4}, if x is greater than or equal to -2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)={1/2x-5}, if x < -2
={5x+4}, if x >= -2

first of all draw the linear function's line of 1/2x-5, then erase the line
for the x values >-2, so you must erase up to -2 from the positive values of x.
then draw the second funtion's linear line. then agan erase this line up to the x values <=-2 that means erase the line where x values below -2.
Finally You would be able to get two lines intersects to make an angle.
