Question

The table shows the relationship between two variables. Which selection describes the relationship?A. increasing: linearB. increasing; non-linearC. decreasing; linearD. decreasing; non-linear

Answer 1

The difference between outputs are

`-3-2=-5`
`-8-(-3)=-8+3=-5`
`-13-(-8)=-13+8=-5`

The differences between outputs are the same, hence this relation is linear

The values are decreasing from 2 to -13.

Hence the given relationship is decreasing and linear.

Option C is correct.
