Hello!
We are trying to describe the behavior of the graph given in the question.
To help us understand how to solve this question, we would need to understand <u>concavity.</u>
There are two types of concavity:
- Concave <em>up</em>
- Concave <em>down</em>
When a graph is concave up, the slope of the line would look like a "U".
When a graph is concave down, the slope of the line would look like a "U" that is flipped upside down.
In this case, we can see that the graph is concave down.
We can tell that the <em>slope</em> is negative due to the fact that the slope is going <u>down,</u> which results in the graph having a negative slope.
We can also tell that the graph is decreasing due to the fact that the line is doing downward.
Answer:
C). negative and decreasing
