Answer:
D) -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of a linear function:
The slope of a linear function is the amount by which y changes when x increases by 1.
In this question:
When x = 1, y = 12
When x = 2, y = 9
When x = 3, y = 6
When x = 4, y = 3
So each time x increases by 1, y decreases by 3, which means that the slope is -3, and the answer is given by option D.
ugh i hate tangents. never understood it
i think it would be " a population of birds increasing in numbers and then remaining constant over time"
