Describing the Behavior of Linear and Nonlinear Graphs

This lesson covers how to describe the rate of change in linear and nonlinear functions by analyzing graphs. It explains the differences between increasing and decreasing rates, constant rates, and how to identify these behaviors in functions. The lesson also provides examples to illustrate these concepts, focusing on how functions behave over different intervals.

What is the significance of the change in y divided by the change in x in understanding function behavior?

How can we determine the behavior of a function on a specific interval?

Summarize the key points learned about linear and nonlinear functions in this lesson.
