From the picture, we have the graph of the linear parent function f(x) = x.
We have the following statements as descriptions of the function:
A. The function is negative when x < 0.
From the graph, we see that the function takes negative values for x < 0. This statement is true.
B. The function is negative when x < 0 and also when x > 0.
The first part of this statement is true, but the second is not because that we see that the function takes positives values for x > 0. So this statement is false.
C. The function is never negative.
If we see the graph, the function is negative when x < 0. So this statement is false.
D. The function is negative when x > 0.
Again, seeing the graph we note that the function takes positive values for x > 0. So this statement is false.
So the only statement that it is true, is option A.
