Linear is basically a straight line. It can be increasing or decreasing.
Decreasing is when on the graph, when x increases, y decreases.
On the graph, there are two parts that are decreasing. Between -2 and 0, and Between 2 and 4. Let's look at these two.
- For between -2 and 0, the line is not straight. Therefore, it is decreasing and nonlinear. We can check if this is the right answer.
- For between 2 and 4, the line is decreasing. However, the line is straight, which means it is decreasing but linear.
Your final answer is B.
