Graph Analysis: Identifying a Decreasing Function from Linear Plot

Is the function in the graph decreasing?

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Verify the graph's overall path direction
• Step 2: Confirm if the y-values are decreasing as we proceed from the left side of the graph to the right side (increasing x-values).

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: By examining the graph, the red line starts at a higher point on the y-axis and moves downward to a lower point as it moves horizontally across the x-axis from left to right.

Step 2: Since for every point, the red line descends as it progresses from the leftmost point to the rightmost, this indicates a consistent decrease in the y-values.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is Yes, the function in the graph is decreasing.
