Question

For which values is the graph decreasing? Check all

that apply.
between x = -3 and x = -1.5
between x=-1.5 and x = 0
between x = 0 and x = 1.5
between x = 1.5 and x = 3

Answer 1

between x=-1.5 and x = 0

between x = 0 and x = 1.5

Explanation:

For the interval -1.5 < x < 1.5, we can see that the slope is negative (i.e from top left to bottom right). Hence it can be said that the graph is decreasing during this interval.

For the other parts of the graph (as shown) the slope is positive (i.e from bottom left to top right). in those areas, the graph is increasing.
