You use interval additivity by splitting the total interval at the graph's breakpoints into simpler sub-intervals. You calculate the signed area for each sub-interval separately and then sum these values to find the total definite integral.
Conditions: The function is piecewise-linear.; The graph has identifiable breakpoints where the slope changes or crosses the axis.
