The graph would be a line.
B.
The graph would rise from left to right.
C.
The graph would be only in the first quadrant.

y = 1000 - 3x

There fore the graph is linear so A is correct.
The graph falls from left to right so B is not correct.
The graph is only in the first quadrant because you can't have negative jelly beans. C is correct.
More days = less jelly beans, D is correct.

Correct: A, C, D
Incorrect: B

oooooh ok

tanner23456 · Answer

use y= mx+b as a guide to set up problems like this.

y= 1000-3x could also be written as y=-3x+1000
