Common Graphs
When the y-values of the graph are positive, what does it mean? What does it mean when the graph is negative? What does it mean when the graph is increasing? True or False? When the y-values drop moving from left to right, the graph is decreasing. Draw the graph of y=x

Circle the correct answer.

a) y=x2 b) y=x3 c) y=1/x
