Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Describing Linear Functions as Increasing, Decreasing or Constant ...
Since I can't view or access images directly, I can’t see the specific graphs in your uploaded image. However, I can help you solve this type of problem if you describe the graphs or provide details about them.

Here’s how to determine whether a graph is increasing, decreasing, or constant:

---

🔍 Step-by-Step Guide:



1. Look at the direction of the line (or function):
- Increasing: As you move from left to right, the graph goes upward.
- Example: A line with a positive slope.
- Decreasing: As you move from left to right, the graph goes downward.
- Example: A line with a negative slope.
- Constant: The graph is a horizontal line — it doesn’t go up or down.
- Example: A line with zero slope.

2. Domain and Range:
- Domain (D): All possible x-values (left to right).
- Range (R): All possible y-values (bottom to top).
- For linear graphs on a coordinate plane:
- If the line extends infinitely, domain and range are all real numbers unless restricted.
- If it's a segment (like in a bounded graph), use the endpoints.

Examples (based on common problems):



Let’s assume some typical graphs:

#### Graph 1: Line going from bottom-left to top-right
- Behavior: Increasing
- Reason: Positive slope
- Domain: All real numbers (or interval based on graph)
- Range: All real numbers

#### Graph 2: Line going from top-left to bottom-right
- Behavior: Decreasing
- Reason: Negative slope
- Domain & Range: Same as above, depending on context

#### Graph 3: Horizontal line
- Behavior: Constant
- Reason: No change in y-value
- Domain: All x-values shown
- Range: Single y-value (e.g., y = 3)

📝 How to Answer:


For each graph, write:
- Increasing / Decreasing / Constant
- Domain (D): [e.g., $-5 \leq x \leq 5$]
- Range (R): [e.g., $-3 \leq y \leq 4$]

💡 Tip: If you can describe the graphs (e.g., "a line from (-2, 0) to (2, 4)") or tell me the slopes, I can give you exact answers.
