CLEAR CHECK

Yes, because she starts with $50 on her gift card.



No, because the amount of money on her gift card should decrease each week.



Yes, because the amount of money that she spends increases each week.



No, because the graph should start at the origin.

Answer 1

No, because the amount of money on her gift card should decrease each week.

Explanation:

Well, the graph shows that the slope is increasing, if you got $50.00 and spend $6.00 each Friday, wouldn't that be decrease and not increase? This is why we eliminate the yes options. Lastly, of course, they should not start at the origin as they started at $50.00.

Proof I got it correct:
