Characteristics and Traits of Graphs

Domain - Determine how far left & right the graph goes

Range - Determines how far up & down the graph goes


End Behavior - Describes the 2 ends of an equation

Absolute Max/Min - point that highest/lowest on the graph

Local Max/Min -More than one point that is the highest or lowest 

Interval of increase - point where it increases the x axis

Interval of decrease - section of graphs when y values are decreasing

X intercept - point where it crosses the x axis

Y intercept - point where it crosses the y axis

Symmetry - even: symmetric at y axis
                  odd: symmetric at orgion 
             neither: no symmetry

Asymptotes - imaginary line closer & closer to the line but never touches it

Function - passes vertical line test

This is an example of a line failing the vertical line test so...
NOT A FUNCTION!

 One to One - passes vertical & horizontal line test
