    Interpreting a graph of lab data.

    So, I've obtained a graph of lab data an it's a plot of thermal resistance versus pressure. Pressure on the x and thermal resistance on the y. If I plot all the points, there doesn't seem to be any trend. The y values are just as likely to decrease as they are to increase with increasing x...

    MHB Consider the graph of y = g(x) given.

    Find g(-1) = So wouldn't g(-1) = Does not exist since the point is discontinuous or would it be 1.5? I'm confused. I feel like it doesn't exist. Can someone elaborate? - - - Updated - - - because g(2) = Does not exist, because it is discontinuous, so g(-1) has to be Does not exist right??
