The illustration below shows the graph of y as a function of x.

Complete the following sentences based on the graph.

Initially, as x increases y is ?

Afterward, the slope of the graph of the function is equal to ? for all x between x=3, and x=5,

The slope of the graph is equal to ? for x between x=5 and x=9,

The greatest value of y is y= ? , and it occurs when x = ?

Fill in the ?

1). Increases

2). Slope = 4

3). Slope = -1

4). y = 4 when x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1). Initially, as x increases, y also increases. (Linear growth has been shown in the graph initially).

2). Afterward, the slope of the graph of the function is equal to 4 for all x between x = 3 and x = 5.

[Slope of the line passing through two points (3, 0) and (5, 4)

m =

   =

   =

   = 4 ]

3). The slope of the graph is equal to -1 for x between x = 5 and x = 9.

[Slope of the line passing through two points (5, 4) and (9, 0),

Slope =

          =

          = -

          = -1 ]

4). The greatest value of y is y = 4, and it occurs when x = 5. (From the given graph)

is it 35
