Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
How does y change as x increases over a range?
As x increases from -6 to -4, y decreases from 0 to -7
It is a decreasing function in this range and for ranges less than x = -6 as well as the slope is nearly constant
As x increases from -4 to 0, y increases from -7 to 4
It is an increasing function in this range.
For x increasing from zero, y becomes less and less
It is a decreasing function in the range larger than x = 0
