Products of linear functions
What times what?

For each graph below construct a product of two linear functions that has a similar graph. Use the Product of linear functions or the Product of linears - one coordinate system tools available for this activity, or the Representation of Functions tool from the general tools list. Note the considerations that have helped you construct your functions. If you didn't succeed in constructing a function similar to one of the given graphs, explain why.
