Which statement best describes the data in a scatter plot where the y values are decreasing as the x-values are increasing

a. the data clock can be modeled by vertical line
b. the data tempest be modeled by a horizontal lthe data tempest be modeled by a horizontal line
c. the data can best be modeled by line with a positive slope
d. the data canvas be modeled by a line with a negative slope

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the option for which the value of the function will be increasing, with the increasing variable.

Vertical line means the value of the x is constant, for any y. Hence, it is not the answer.

Horizontal line represents constant functions. Hence option B can not be the answer.

The data having a positive slope represents a increasing function with the increasing variable. Vice-versa for the data having a negative slope.

That is why option D will be the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

first, eliminate the parenthesis:

3

x

+

2

−

4

x

second, group like terms:

3

x

−

4

x

+

2

third, combine like terms:

(

3

−

4

)

x

+

2

→

−

1

x

+

2

→

−

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3
