question
the graph of a function is shown below. what is true about the function on the interval $5 < x < 9?$
answer
$circ$ it is increasing and linear
$circ$ it is increasing and non-linear
$circ$ it is decreasing and linear
$circ$ it is decreasing and non-linear

Explanation:

1. On the interval \(5 < x < 9\), as \(x\) increases (moves right along the x-axis), the corresponding \(y\)-values of the function also increase (move up along the y-axis), so the function is increasing.
2. The graph on this interval is a curved line, not a straight line, so the function is non-linear.

Answer:

it is increasing and non-linear
