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.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The goal to solving any equation is to have x = {something}. That means we need to get the x out from underneath that radical. It's a square root, so we can "undo" it by squaring. Square both sides because this is an equation. Squaring both sides gives you

Get everything on one side of the equals sign and set the quadratic equal to 0:

Throw this into the quadratic formula to get that the solutions are x = 5 and -8. We need to see if only one works, both work, or neither work in the original equation.
Does
?
and

and 5 = 5. So 5 works. Let's try -8 now:
and
so

-8 = 8? No it doesn't. So only 5 works. Your choice is the third one down.
Proceed left to right. The larger number will have a larger digit in the corresponding place.
Here, the differing digits are 1 and 0 in the thousandths place. The appropriate sign is ">"
