Introduction to Graphing Vocabulary

If you are going to describe a graph it helps to know some key graph vocabulary.  In the video below we use words like "increasing", "decreasing" and "constant" to indicate the vertical direction the graph is moving (up, down, or staying the same).  We use adjectives to describe the steepness of the slope.  "Rapidly" and "Sharply" indicates a steeper slope than "slowly" or "gradually".

Did we leave some words out?  Please post a comment if you can think of other words we might have used.
