Finding Decreasing Intervals: Analyzing Function Values from -2 to 10

In which domain does the function decrease?

Let's remember that a function is increasing if both $x$ values and $y$ values are increasing simultaneously.

A function is decreasing if $x$ values are increasing while $y$ values are decreasing simultaneously.

According to the value table, we can see that in the domain $x < 2$, the$x$ values are increasing while the $y$ values are decreasing simultaneously. Therefore, the function is decreasing in the domain $x < 2$.
