Answer:

B. The graph flips over the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plot the coordinate pair (x, y), you plot the point 'y' units above the x-axis. If you change the sign of that (multiply the function by -1), then the point becomes (x, -y), and is plotted 'y' units below the x-axis.

The graph flips over the x-axis.

Attached is an example of a function with its original graph (red) and the graph after being multiplied by -1 (blue). The blue graph is a reflection of the red graph across the x-axis.

Answer:

temperature is decreasing as time passes
x-axis
hot drink temperature (°C)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Each value of temperature is lower than the one previous, so we can say the temperature is decreasing. We also notice that the rate of decrease is getting smaller, possibly because the temperature is approaching a horizontal asymptote.

2. The horizontal axis, where temperature is plotted, is conventionally called the x-axis.

3. The label on the vertical axis is "temperature" and the graph title is "cooling a hot drink ...", so we presume the dependent variable is the temperature of a hot drink.
