The equation for the area of a square could be written: A=s2
When you plot these points, is the graph increasing or decreasing
The equation A = s^2 represents the relationship between the area (A) and the side length (s) of a square. When we plot these points on a graph, we are essentially representing different pairs of A and s values.
Since A = s^2, the area will always be positive or zero. The side length (s) can also only be positive or zero since we cannot have a negative length for a square.
When we consider different values of s and calculate the corresponding values of A, we will find that as s increases, A also increases. Similarly, as s decreases, A also decreases. This relationship can be observed from any plotted point on the graph, and thus the graph of A = s^2 is increasing.
