See below for the interpretation of the graph

How to interpret the graph?

From the graph, the initial values of x and y are 0

As x increases, y decreases.

This means that the first statement is

• Initially, as x increases, y decreases.

Slope is calculated as:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

Using the graph values at the interval x =0 to x = 3, we have:

$m = \frac{-3 - 0}{3 - 0}$

m = -1

This means that the second statement is

• The slope of the graph is equal to -1 for all x between x = 0 and x = 3

From the graph, y = -3, when x = 3

As x increases at this point, y increases.

This means that the third statement is

• Starting at x = 3, the function value y increases as x increases

Using the graph values at the interval x = 3 to x = 5, we have:

$m = \frac{3 + 3}{5 - 3}$

m = 3

This means that the fourth statement is

• The slope of the graph is equal to 3 for x between x = 3 and x = 5

All y values at x = 0 to x = 4 are less than 0, while all y values at x = 4 to x = 8 are greater than 0

So, the last two statements are

• For x between x = 0 and x = 4, the function value y is less than 0
• For x between x = 4 and x = 8, the function value y is greater than 0
