Describing Distance Graphs with Interval Notation

Learning Targets
I can interpret the graph of a real life linear function.
I can use interval notation to describe the domain and range of a graph of a linear function.

​Success Criteria:

• I can identify the intervals where a function is increasing, decreasing or constant and write the intervals in interval notation.

• I can interpret each part of the graph in terms of the real­ life phenomena.

• I can identify the domain and range of the graph that models real life phenomena.
