can some one please help me with math questions?

what is it?
save time, post your question when asking for help.
the table shows the relationship between two variables. which selection describes the relationship ? 1 5 2 -1 3 -7 4 -13 a.)increasing,linear b.)increasing,non-linear c.)decreasing, linear d.)decreasing, non-linear
@whpalmer4
Do you know what a linear is?
i do i just dont understand the question
i think its a or b but im not sure
as the first number increases, does the second number increase, or decrease?
decreases ?
is that an answer, or a prayer? :-)
answer
ok, then no question mark is needed. good. would you think it makes more sense to call that an increasing function, or a decreasing function?
decreasing
would it be d or c ?
excellent. so which two choices have we narrowed it down to with that?
d and c
yes, c or d
im thinking c but im not sure
now the question is whether it is linear or not. one way to know is to graph it and see if you get a straight line. that would be linear.
i did and i think its c but im not sure if i did it right
but another way is to look at how much the y value (the second number) changes when you change the x-value (the first number) by 1
so its d ?
if a chance in x always gives you the same change in y, no matter where you do it, the function is linear
ok so i was right its c ? :)
if we go from x=1 to x=2, what happens to y?
idk. i honestly dont i missed all of this when i was in the hospital
look at the table. first row is x=1 second row is x-2 what is the value of y in first row.? what do you have to add or subtract to make the value of y from the first row equal the value of y from the second row?
i dont know. i just need to know if c is correct
knowing the answer to one question is useless. knowing how to correctly answer every question like this is much better.
this is my last day of the semester i need this for my study guid for my exams next week.
and its really complicated thats why i just need to know if my answer is c
look, I have taught countless students how to do this. the ones who actually do the steps I tell them to do understand it. the kids who just want an answer will not be able to do anything but guess. this is a basic concept you will need in every math class you encounter....
i just asked if i was correct -_- why cant you tell me -_-
i dont need to be thought i just need someone to tell me if its correct idk why thats so hard
if you do as I say, you will be able to tell me whether it is correct and be confident that you are right. if you cannot tell me if it is correct, you do not know how to do this.
just tell me if my answer is correct -_- its not that hard i know how to do it i just want my answer checked its not tat hard to type and tlel me yes its correct or no its not. it dont take a whole life lesson just for a yes or no if my answer is correct
it is not hard if you understand the material. knowing the answer to this question on your study guide will not help you AT ALL if you do not understand the question and how to solve it. If you understand the process, you could have correctly answered a dozen of these problems in the time we have spent. you have said you do not understand the question, that it is very complicated, and that you missed learning about this due to hospitalization. You have someone willing to explain it, but you aren't interested. Not a recipe for a good result on your exams.
