D. -3 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given an output of 2. This means this is the value we need an input for. We need to find a number(s) that lie on the x axis and when we move up, you get an output of 2.
Option A:
If we are given an input of -2, we start at (-2, 0) and move up until we reach a point on the line. We end up lying on the point (-2, 3). Thus, the output for having an input of -2 is 3 which proves that this answer is incorrect.
Option B:
As stated above -2 has an output of 3 which is wrong. Since we know this, we can eliminate this as an option.
Option C:
If we are given an input of -3, we start at (-3, 0) and move up until we reach a point on the line. We end up lying on the point (-3, 2). Thus, the output for having an input of -2 is 2 which proves that this answer is correct.
Option D:
We know that -3 is a possible input so we just need to check 3 as an input.
If we are given an input of 3, we start at (3, 0) and move up until we reach a point on the line. We end up lying on the point (3, 2). Thus, the output for having an input of 3 is 2 which proves that this answer is also correct.
Since we know that -3 and 3 are possible inputs for an output of 2 on the graph, we need to include them both in our answer. Thus, the answer is D.
Best of Luck!
