Question

You exercise for one hour each day and you burn 8.5 calories per minute. If you graphed the number of calories you burned as the output, compared to the number of minutes you exercise as input, what would the graph look like? Which of the following would not be true?A.The graph would be a line.B.The graph would rise from left to right.C.The graph would be only in the first quadrant.D.The larger the number of minutes, the fewer calories you would burn.

Answer 1

For every minute you exercise you burn 8.5 calories. It's a linear pattern, so the graph would be a line.
The more minutes you exercise, the more calories you burn, so the graph would rise from left to right.
The number of minutes and the number of calories can't be negative numbers, so the graph would be only in the first quadrant.
The larger the number of minutes, the more calories you would burn.

The answer is D.
