You should use a link to refer to that picture to save space.

For #1, it says that g(x) = -3 if x <= -4, g(x) = x if -4 < x < 2, and g(x) = -x+6 if x >= 2. Simply graph all three "pieces" on the same coordinate plane.

For #3 you will have to "reverse-engineer" this. Take each part and note which x-values it is defined under, then find a linear equation with the correct slope and y-intercept.
