1. **State the problem:** We are given a piecewise linear function $f$ and a table with some missing values. We need to complete the table and explain why the equation $f(x) = 4$ has infinitely many solutions.
2. **Complete the table:**
- The ordered pair $(2, )$ means $f(2)$ is needed. From the graph, at $x=2$, $f(2) = 10$.
- At $x=0$, the graph shows $f(0) = 0$.
- At $x=-6$, the graph is near $-3$ (rising gently from about $-10,-3$ to $0,0$), so $f(-6) \\approx -3$.
- At $x=8$, the graph flattens near $y=1$, so $f(8) \\approx 1$.
- For $f(x) = -6$, find $x$ where $f(x) = -6$. The graph does not reach $-6$; it goes from about $-3$ to $10$ and then flattens near $1$. So no $x$ satisfies $f(x) = -6$, leave blank.
- At $x=10$, the graph is near $1$, so $f(10) \\approx 1$.
3. **Fill in the ordered pairs:**
- $(2,10)$
- $(0,0)$
- $(-6,-3)$
- $(8,1)$
- $(10,1)$
4. **Explain why $f(x) = 4$ has infinite solutions:**
- The graph shows a horizontal segment at $y=4$ between approximately $x=3$ and $x=6$.
- For every $x$ in this interval, $f(x) = 4$.
- Since there are infinitely many $x$ values in the interval $[3,6]$, there are infinitely many solutions to $f(x) = 4$.
**Final answers:**
| x | f(x) | Ordered Pair |
|----|------|--------------|
| 2 | 10 | (2,10) |
| 0 | 0 | (0,0) |
| -6 | -3 | (-6,-3) |
| 8 | 1 | (8,1) |
| | -6 | |
| 10 | 1 | (10,1) |
