Answer:
B. The statement does not make sense because a linear function has a straight-line graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear functions have a general form y = m*x +b and only yield straight-line graphs. Therefore, the statement does not make sense, either the graphed function is not linear, or there was an error in the graphing process. The answer is alternative B.
*Note that alternative D is wrong because it is incomplete, since linear functions can have a rate of change that increases (m > 0), decreases (m < 0) or that is zero (m = 0).

Parenthesis Exponents Multiply Divide Add Subtract
Multiply and Divide and Add and Subtract can be switched around with each other, but multiply and divide always happens before add and subtract. The reason you add first here is because it is in the parenthesis.
This could be a situation in which items are both bought and sold. In calculating the inventory, positive numbers represent items bought, negative numbers represent items sold and 0 would be no items in the inventory.
Another type of situation would be the displacement of an object from the original position. Where 0 would represent the original/starting position, positive values would represent distance moved forward, negative values represent distance moved backwards.
