ANSWER

D. As the x-values increase, the y-values would decrease

EXPLANATION

The given function is
y =  -  \frac{1}{2} x - 7


The slope of this function is
m =  -  \frac{1}{2}

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
x =  - 40
y =  -  \frac{1}{2} ( - 40) - 7


This implies that,

y = 20 - 7 = 13

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:

The answer is 150

Step-by-step explanation:

I think what you mean with the numbers between the "I's" is <em>absolute value</em>. Any number is just that number, so the <em>absolute value </em>of -6, is 6. The absolute value of 24 is 24. That means it's simply 137+13, which is <u>150</u>.

Julie's MP3 player contains 860 songs. If 20% of the songs are rap songs and 15% of the songs are R&amp;B songs, how many of the
docker41 [41]
Total number of songs in Julie's MP3 player = 860
Percentage of rap songs in Julie's MP3 player = 20%
Then
Number of rap songs in Julie's MP3 player = (20/100) * 860
                                                                     = 860/5
                                                                     = 172
Percentage of R&B songs in Julie's MP3 player = 15%
Then
Number of R&B songs in Julie's MP3 player = (15/100) * 860
                                                                        = 1290/10
                                                                         = 129
So
The number of other types of songs in Julie's MP3 player = 860 - (172 + 129)
                                                                                             = 860 - 301
                                                                                             = 559
So the number of other types of songs in Julie's MP3 player was 559.
