Answer:

B) Yes, because the slope is
-(25)/(3) and the zero is (12, 0)

Explanation:

From inspection of the graph:

  • y-intercept = (0, 100)
  • Two points: (3, 75) and (6, 50)


\sf slope\:(m)=(change\:in\:y)/(change\:in\:x)=(50-75)/(6-3)=-(25)/(3)

Therefore, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form y = mx + b

(where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept) is:


y=-(25)/(3)x+100

To find the zero (when y = 0), set the equation to zero and solve for x:


\implies -(25)/(3)x+100=0


\implies (25)/(3)x=100


\implies 25x=300


\implies x=12

Therefore, the zero is at (12, 0)

Therefore, the graph does represent the function because the slope is
-(25)/(3) and the zero is at (12, 0)
