ANSWER
D. As the x-values increase, the y-values would decrease
EXPLANATION
The given function is

The slope of this function is

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


This implies that,

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.

Simplify:

Each of the members must raise at least $69.46.
To start they need to raise $552.50. However, they have already raised 12% of it. They only need to raise 88% of it.
552.50 x 0.88 = 486.2
Divide the remaining amount by 7 to determine how much each individual must raise.
486.2 / 7 = 69.46
Direct variation has this equation:
y = kx
where k is the constant of variation
y = -5 ; x = -15
y = kx
-5 = k(-15)
-5/-15 = k
1/3 = k
Choice D. y = 1/3 x
Answer:
16, 24
