Payton,

It is difficult to do that by adjusting the options in Plot because
Mathematica uses built-in adaptive plotting algorithms that are difficult to
completely control.

But it is certainly easy to make a 4-segment plot.

pts = Table[{x, x^2}, {x, -1, 1, 2/4}];

Show[Graphics[
      {Line@pts}],
    Frame -> True];

How can I adjust the Plot options PlotPoints,PlotDivision and MaxBend
so that the graph of f(x) = x^2 consists of exactly four straight
segments.
