Its a straight line so it's linear but you can figure out if it's decreasing or not
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
is it linear decreasing? :)

hint:
the slope is a negative real number
OpenStudy (mojojojo15):
You can figure it out by looking to see if it's negative or not
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
yes
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
its negative.
OpenStudy (mojojojo15):
So then what do you think it is?

Linear decreasing!?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
hint:
as we can see from the drawing, if \(x\) increases, then \(y\) decreases, namely:
\[\huge \frac{{\Delta y}}{{\Delta x}} < 0\]
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
ok ... so its linear increases?
OpenStudy (mojojojo15):
Do you really think it's increasing?
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
well if its not decreasing then it has to be increasing..

What makes you so sure it's not decreasing?
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
i said if its linear decreasing? you guys said no...
OpenStudy (mojojojo15):
Nuuu
OpenStudy (mojojojo15):
Reread
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
example:
here is a linear function:
\(y=-2x+5\)
then we have:
\[\huge \frac{{\Delta y}}{{\Delta x}} = - 2 < 0\]

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
ohhhhhh..
OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):
so its LINEAR DECREASINGG!! :)
OpenStudy (mojojojo15):
Does it make sense with her graph and example? I was trying to do that but it wouldn't let me :(

hint:
when the driver spent 2 hours of his time to make shopping, then the covered space didn't change, so you have to look for a graph which contains a flat portion, like this:
