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.
The expression of the problem is, 8x.
where "x" stands for the number of dogs. so you would then substitute x with 12. Then you would solve the problem to get your answer.(8•12)
when solving a system of equations the difference between that and elimination is the when you're using the Elimination u have to first multiply the numbers but when substituting it's different unlike the Elimination this is all ik and can u mark me brainliest?
Answer:
(1, 9/2) or (1, 4.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the midpoint, take the x1 and x2 values and divide it by 2, same for the y values.
(4-2)/2 and (6 + 3)/2
1 and 4.5
(1, 4.5)
