ANSWER
D. As the x-values increase, the y-values would decrease
EXPLANATION
The given function is

The slope of this function is

Since the slope is negative, there is a negative or an inverse relationship between x and y.
As the values of x increases, the values of y decreases.
Also, as the values of x decreases, the values of y increases.
The first option is not true because as x is becoming bigger and bigger negatively, y will become positive.
For instance, when


This implies that,

Options B is obviously not true because the function has a negative relationship between x and y.
Option C is also false because, x can be positive since it is the independent variable.
See graph
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
Answer:
<h2>a) 10⁶metres</h2><h2>b) 10¹⁸metres</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given One terameter equals 10¹² meters. One micrometer equals 10⁻⁶ meter, one nanometer equals 10⁻⁹meter;
a) The product of one terameter and one micrometer will be expressed as;
10¹² * 10⁻⁶
Since the both have the same base, we will add their power according to one of the law in indices as shown
10¹² * 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁶⁺¹²
= 10⁶metres
b) The quotient of one terameter and one micrometer can be gotten by taking their ratio as shown below;
Note that when taking the quotient, the power are subtracted

Answer:
21 yrs old
Step-by-step explanation:
m= michael age
b=Brandon age
m=b+12
m-17=4(b-17)= 4b-68 --»»m = 4b -51
//put b+12 instead m// b+12=4b-51
3b=63 --»»b=21
Brandon age is 21
Michael age is 33
