Question

The temperature in a freezer is falling steadily at a rate of 2°F per minute. The function gives the temperature y after x minutes. Which set of terms best describes the function in this scenario?

A.discrete and linear

B.discrete and non-linear

C.continuous and linear

D.continuous and non-linear

Answer 1

c.

Answer 2

C

Answer 3

Linear because it is always falling at the same rate. Continuous because it never stops falling.

Answer 4

it's c
continuous: because the temperature falls through every possible temperature as the freezer gets colder

and linear: its falling at the same rate per minute. The graph therefore has a constant (slope) and is therefore linear or a straight line to put it simply.
