Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Coefficient

The given linear function is f(x)=x6 f(x) = x - 6 . The coefficient of x x in this equation is 1 1 .

Step 2: Determine the Behavior of the Line

To classify the behavior of the line, we analyze the coefficient:

  • If the coefficient >0 > 0 , the line is increasing.
  • If the coefficient <0 < 0 , the line is decreasing.
  • If the coefficient =0 = 0 , the line is constant.

Since the coefficient is 1 1 , which is greater than 0 0 , we conclude that the line is increasing.

Final Answer

The line is increasing, so the answer is \\(\boxed{\text{The line is increasing.}}\\)
