Which one describes the graph?
Up, down or level
How it works.
start at the left→follow the line
1. stays level2. climbs
staying the same, then increasing
- 01
There are no numbers on the axes, so there is nothing to read off — the shape is the whole answer. Put a finger at the left end of the line.
- 02
Trace it across and count the pieces where it changes: there are 2. The line stays level, then climbs.
- 03
"stays level" is what staying the same means, so this graph is staying the same, then increasing.
