Which graph represents a negative linear association between x and y?

1 answer:

6 0

First, only graph's a and b are linear, meaning the change in each step is the same. This eliminates graphs c and d, which are both exponential.
Next, we need to determine which graph is a negative relationship. In a negative relationship, small values of x mean large values of y and large values of x mean small values of y; this also means the slope is negative. This means graph b has all the properties we're searching for.

$7\pi y^2\ represent\ the\ area\ of\ 7\ circles.\\\\Area\ of\ the\ circle:A_O=\pi r^2\ where\ r\ is\ a\ radius\ of\ the\ circle.\\\\In\ your\ example\ r=y\ therefore\ area\ of\ the\ one\ circle\ is\ equal:\\\\A_O=\pi y^2\\\\area\ of\ the\ 7\ circles\ is\ equal\ 7A_O=7\pi y^2$
