Question

The illustration below shows the graph of y as a function of x.complete the following sentences based on the graph of the function.* initially, as x increases, y (increases, decreases or stays constant).* the slope of the graph is equal to ___ for all x between x = 0 and x = 3.* starting at x = 3, the function value y (increases, decreases, or stays constant) as x increases.* the slope of the graph is equal to ___ for x between x = 3 and x = 5.* for x between x = 0 and x = 4, the function value y (≤, ≥, or =) 0.* for x between x = 4 and x = 8, the function value y (≤, ≥, or =) 0.

Answer 1

We will have the following:

*Initially, as x increases, y decreases.

*The slope of the graph is equal to -1 for all x between x = 0 & x = 3.

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

*The slope of the graph is equal to 3 for x between x = 3 & x = 5.

*For x between x = 0 & x = 4, the function value y ≤ 0.

*For x between x = 4 & x = 8, the function value y ≥ 0.
