Question 23

Four graphs are shown below representing the proportionality between y y\,y and xxx.

Graph W W

Graph X X

Graph Y Y

Graph Z Z

Note: Graph W is a straight line through the origin, Graph X is a curve that is asymptotic to the axes, Graph Y is a curve asymptotic to the axes that decreases faster than X, and Graph Z is a parabolic curve.

Match each graph with a statement in the table below.
