Suppose the y-intercept of an exponential function is positive and the common ratio (r) is greater than 1. For this graph, as x increases, y will...
1. increase
2. decrease
3. approach zero

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3
