Increasing and Decreasing Graphs Wikispaces增加和减少的图 wiki空间.pptVIP

By: Naiya Kapadia,YiQi Lu, Elizabeth Tran - Increasing and decreasing lines are determined by the graphs slope, which can be found in the linear equation form, y= mx+b. Linear Function y= -1/4 To tell whether the graph is an increasing function, the slope must be positive, and the graph runs from left to right, as shown in the increasing graph. To tell whether the graph is a decreasing function,the slope must be negative, and the graph runs from right to left, as shown in the decreasing graph. Increasing Graph: Decreasing Graph: - A quadratic function has the form y= ax^
