What is the significance of the point (0, 0) in graphing?

Back

The point (0, 0) is known as the origin. It is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

How can you determine if a line is increasing or decreasing?

Back

A line is increasing if the slope is positive (rises from left to right) and decreasing if the slope is negative (falls from left to right).
