Question

Question 11

Match the description of the end behavior with the graph of the function it describes.
Instructions
As x increases, y increases; as x
decreases, y decreases.
As x increases, y increases; as x
decreases, y increases.
As x increases, y decreases; as x
decreases, y decreases.

Answer 1

As x increases, y increases; as x decreases, y decreases.

This is the 3rd(bottom) graph

As x increases, y increases; as x decreases, y increases.

This is the 2nd(right) graph

As x increases, y decreases; as x decreases, y decreases.

This is the 1st graph

Explanation:

The end behavior of a graph considers only the ends and not the middle.

With the first graph, as x increases or decreases, y decreases. This matches the third option.

With the second graph, as x increases or decreases, y increases. This matches the second option.

With the third graph, as x increases, y increases, and when x decreases, y decreases. This matches the first option.
