The function is decreasing when the slope is positive or negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mayankdevnani

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, negative

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

And in the graph, you can easily visualize where the slope is negative...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Where the curve is going down, the slope is negative, so from there you can get the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x>2?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

x>2 means that x is greater than 2. SO, I want to confirm if that is so or not... you are saying that from x=2 and to the right the slope is negative(?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I told you how to find the answer... The function is decreasing when the slope is negative, and the way to tell if the slope is negative is to see if the function is going down or not

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

when the function goes down, the slope is negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be x<2?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, precisely!`

thnx
