22.3.1 Rising and Falling Within a Branch

Core idea

On a single branch, when k>0 a larger x means a smaller y, so remember you can only compare increase and decrease within the same branch.

Module goal. Read off increase/decrease behavior, symmetry, and the geometric meaning of k straight from the graph, matching each property to its picture.
