Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{rise}{run}$

Initially, as X increases, Y stays constant.

Then, between x = 3 and x = 5, the graph rises by 4 and runs by 2, or rises by 2 and runs by 1, so the slope is 2.

Between x = 5 and x = 9, the graph "rises" by -1 and runs by 1, so the slope is -1.

The greatest value of y is 4 at x = 5. (5, 4)

Answer 2

Answer:

Initially, as x increases, y remains constant.

Afterward, the slope of the graph of the function is equal to 2 for all x between x = 3 and x = 5.

The slope of the graph is equal to -1 between x = 5 and x = 9.

The greatest value of y = 4, and it occurs when x = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = $\frac{rise}{run}$

The rise is how much it increases by y (up or down), and the run is how much it increases by x (right or left).

From 3-5 the slope = $\frac{4}{2}$ =  2 → it goes up 2 units for every one unit right.

From 5-9 the slope = $\frac{-4}{4}$ = -1 → it goes down (-) 1 unit for every one unit right.
