Ok look at the values of x, are they increasing or decreasing, then y. Remember as negative #'s seem to "look" like their getting smaller -5, -4, -3.... they are actually getting... what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So x is getting smaller (decreasing) by 1, while y is... doing what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You got this girl.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x is decreasing, y is increasing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By 1's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh .... I thought we were looking for a function ; oops !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, it does represent a function absolutely, can you tell me what it would look like? Remember f(x) denotes a function and is = to y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And can you tell me if the function is linear, quadratic, or cubic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=0P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no, but I think there's a typo... I don't see x decreasing, y increasing as an option...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at option B. As x decreases by one, y increases by one. Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no , it says x increases !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahhhh, yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. As x decreases by 1, y decreases by 1. B. As x increases by 1, y increases by 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tricky. Look at option D =0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 5, multiply by -1 -> 5(-1)=-5, then subtract 1, -5-1 = -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=4 -> 4(-1) = -4, -4-1 = -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Every time we multiply x by -1, then subtract 1 we get the y! Sorry I didn't see that before...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly; great save!
