Answer:
- increasing -9 < x < -4
- increasing -4 < x < 2
- decreasing 2 < x < 7
Step-by-step explanation:
When the curve goes up to the right, it has positive slope and is increasing.
When the curve goes down to the right, it has negative slope and is decreasing.
You are expected to read the x-coordinates of the ends of the segments from the graph.
segment 1: increasing, -9 < x < -4
segment 2: increasing, -4 < x < 2
segment 3: decreasing, 2 < x < 7
