ANSWER
D. As the x-values increase, the y-values would decrease
EXPLANATION
The given function is
![y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 7](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20%20-%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20x%20-%207)
The slope of this function is
![m = - \frac{1}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m%20%3D%20%20-%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20)
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](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%20-%2040)
![y = - \frac{1}{2} ( - 40) - 7](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20%20-%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%28%20-%2040%29%20-%207)
This implies that,
![y = 20 - 7 = 13](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%2020%20-%207%20%3D%2013)
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.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
Answer:
B = 70
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary angles add to 180
5x+25 + 3x+19 = 180
Combine like terms
8x+ 44 =180
Subtract 44 from each side
8x+44-44 =180-44
8x= 136
Divide by 8
8x/8 = 136/8
x = 17
We want to find B
B = 3x+19 = 3(17)+19 = 51+19 = 70
A 26/4= 6.5
B 5*4 = 20
Reason for A: You will need to subtract 4 out of 26 to get the amount of miles (Don't trust me times 6.5 and 4 you will get 26)
Reason for B: B is the opposite do will do the opposite <span />
You would multiply 9x___ whatever the other number is witch is 4
