Question: Determine the range of the following graph:
Graph: a single smooth curve in the center of the page with solid endpoints at $(-10, 8)$ and $(2, -6)$; the curve reaches a highest value of $y = 8$ and a lowest value of $y = -6$, so the range is $[-6, 8]$.
1. **State the problem:** We need to determine the range of the graph described.
2. **Recall the definition of range:** The range of a function is the set of all possible output values ($y$-values).
3. **Analyze the graph details:** The graph has solid endpoints at $(-10, 8)$ and $(2, -6)$.
4. **Identify the highest and lowest points:** The highest value of $y$ on the graph is $8$ and the lowest value is $-6$.
5. **Conclude the range:** Since the graph covers all $y$-values between $-6$ and $8$ inclusive, the range is $$[-6, 8].$$
