Question

1. max: min: increasing: decreasing:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the nature of the line

The line on the graph is a straight - line with a positive slope. Since it is a non - vertical straight line, it has no maximum or minimum values in the traditional sense for a linear function over the entire real number line.

Step2: Determine the intervals of increase and decrease

For a linear function with a positive slope, as the x - value increases, the y - value increases. A linear function with a positive slope is increasing over its entire domain. And it is not decreasing anywhere.

Answer:

Max: None
Min: None
Increasing: $(-\infty,\infty)$
Decreasing: None
