A graph that represents the amount of money Jude owes his friend over time is: B. graph B.

The graph is correctly described as discrete.

In Mathematics, a discrete function is a type of function in which the ordered pair of values on the x-axis and y-axis are separate from each other and unconnected.

Since the amount of money that Jude owes his friend represents a debt, it must have a negative slope (downward sloping) and it increases at specific, countable intervals.

In this context, the situation must be modeled by a discrete function because the function is not continuous,
