The graph of the function is missing and so i have attached it alongside the options.
Answer:
B & C are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached graph, we can see that at interval 2, the line is falling down and not rising.
This means that the function is decreasing because y is decreasing while x is increasing.
Also, when both x and y are increasing, the slope is positive but when one is increasing and the other is decreasing like we have here, it means the slope is negative.
Thus, the function is decreasing and the slope is negative.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of of this as a function in which the number of pounds is a function of the number of hours. Each piece of given information is a point. Each point has the format (x, y) = (hours, pounds), where hours is x and is the independent variable, and pounds is y and is the dependent variable.
You have two points (4.5, 1445) and (7, 2320). First find the slope of the line that passes through those two points. Use the slope formula,
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).
Then using the slope and the point-slope equation of a line, find the equation of the line. The point-slope equation of a line is
y - y1 = m(x - x1),
where m = slope, and the point is (x1, y1).
