Question

1. which of the following terms describe the graph shown? select all correct answers. a. linear b. nonlinear c. increasing d. decreasing e. function

Explanation:

1. Linear Check: The graph is a straight line, so it is linear (A is correct, B is incorrect).
2. Increasing/Decreasing Check: As \( x \) increases, \( y \) decreases, so it is decreasing (D is correct, C is incorrect).
3. Function Check: The graph passes the vertical line test (each \( x \) has one \( y \)), so it is a function (E is correct).

Answer:

A. linear
D. decreasing
E. function
