21.3.5 Comparing Function Values

Core idea

On the same graph, whoever's point sits higher has the larger y, so just look and compare y1 and y2.

Module goal. Systematically describe how the signs of k and b decide a line's direction, whether it rises or falls, and which quadrants it visits — upgrading you from "able to draw" to "able to read."
