Qualitative analysis, critical points The intercepts of f occur at y = 0 and y = K, corresponding to the critical points of logistic equation. The vertex of the parabola is (K/2, rK/4), as shown below. Qualitative analysis, increasing/decreasing Note dy/dt 0 for 0 y K, so y is an increasing function of t there (indicate with right arrows along y-axis on 0 y K). Similarly, y is a decreasing function of t for y K (indicate with left arrows along y-axis on y K). In this context the y-axis is often called the phase line.
