The illustration below shows the graph of y as a function of x.
Complete the sentences below based on the graph of the function.
As x increases, y (increases, decreases or stays constant)
The rate of change for y as a function of x is (constant or not constant)
therefore, the function is (nonlinear, linear or decreasing)
For all values of x the function value y (< or > or =) 0
The y-intercept of the graph is the function value y= (BLANK)
when x = 6, the function value y= (BLANK)
