On a coordinate plane, a piecewise function has 3 lines. The first line has an open circle at (negative 3, negative 1) and continues horizontally to an open circle at (negative 1, negative 1). The second line has a closed circle at (negative 1, 0) and continues horizontally to a closed circle at (1, 0). The third line has an open circle at (1, 1) and continues horizontally to an open circle at (3, 1).
On a coordinate plane, a piecewise function has 3 lines. The first line has an open circle at (negative 1, negative 1) and continues horizontally to the left at y = negative 1. The second line has a closed circle at (negative 1, 0) and continues horizontally to a closed circle at (1, 0). The third line has an open circle at (1, 1) and continues horizontally to the right at y = 1.

The correct graph for the step function f(x) is the first option:
On a coordinate plane, a piecewise function has 3 lines. The first line has an open circle at (-3, -1) and continues horizontally to an open circle at (-1, -1). The second line has a closed circle at (-1, 0) and continues horizontally to a closed circle at (1, 0). The third line has an open circle at (1, 1) and continues horizontally to an open circle at (3, 1).
