Which statement describes the relationship between x and y? As x increases, y decreases. As x increases, y increases. As x increases, y increases and then decreases. As x increases, y decreases and then increases.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oregonduck (oregonduck):

the answer is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why is it b?

oregonduck (oregonduck):

because As x increases, y increases.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

`y decreases` means `y (on the graph) is going down` `y increases` means `y (on the graph) is going up` `x decreases` means `x (on the graph) is going to the left` `x increases` means `x (on the graph) is going to the right`

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

don't listen it is not B

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Stop giving out answer - first of all. Secondly, stop giving out incorrect answers.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

When x goes to the left, the x is decreasing, right? As x decreases (goes to the left), how does the y behave?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I should say: 1. as the graph goes to the right, does it go down or up? 2. as the graph goes to the left, does it go down or up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it goes down then up right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So as x increases, y decreases and then increases.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

but the more it goes to the right (from the y-axis) the graph is going down, or is it going up?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

oh, I am sorry @OregonDuck

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

B is the right answer. (Although not accurate at all, yet the best option)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Was her right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*he

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

well, these options are abstruse for a single precise ineterpetation.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

interpretation*

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I would say that `as x→±∞, y→∞`

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

as x gets very large, or very small the y increases.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

or perhaps B is incorrect.

oregonduck (oregonduck):

it has to be i asked my brother he is in collage

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

|dw:1435771330813:dw|

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

so D is correct, i would think

OpenStudy (xkshx):

The answer is D @SolomonZelman is right

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(have multuiple choice questions. esp. the poorly worded once)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
