textThe text extraction from the image wasn't fully successful due to the handwriting and formatting. However, I can still analyze the piecewise function based on the graph you provided. 

Let's examine the graph section by section:

### 1. For \(-6 \leq x < -1\):
- The graph is a horizontal line at \(y = 4\).
- This can be written as: \(f(x) = 4\).

### 2. For \(-1 \leq x \leq 2\):
- The graph shows a line with a negative slope, starting from \( ( -1, 4 ) \) and ending at \( ( 2, -1 ) \).
- The equation of this line can be found using the point-slope form:
  \[
  \text{slope} = \frac{-1 - 4}{2 - (-1)} = \frac{-5}{3}
  \]
  So the equation is:
  \[
  f(x) = -\frac{5}{3}x + \frac{7}{3}
  \]

### 3. For \(2 < x \leq 6\):
- The graph shows another line with a negative slope, starting from \( (2, -1) \) and ending at \( (6, -5) \).
- The slope is:
  \[
  \text{slope} = \frac{-5 - (-1)}{6 - 2} = \frac{-4}{4} = -1
  \]
  So the equation is:
  \[
  f(x) = -x + 1
  \]

### The piecewise function is:

\[
f(x) =
\begin{cases} 
4 & \text{if } -6 \leq x < -1 \\
-\frac{5}{3}x + \frac{7}{3} & \text{if } -1 \leq x \leq 2 \\
-x + 1 & \text{if } 2 < x \leq 6
\end{cases}
\]

Let me know if you need more details or have any questions! Here are five related questions that could further your understanding:

1. How do you derive the equation of a line given two points?
2. What are the common types of piecewise functions?
3. How can you determine if a piecewise function is continuous?
4. What are the implications of the slope in a linear function?
5. How do you determine the range of a piecewise function based on its graph?

**Tip:** When working with piecewise functions, carefully observe the open and closed endpoints as they indicate whether the point is included in the interval.
