I asked you about this one. Which segment has a negative slope. A negative slope means that the values are decreasing (or a decreasing function).

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i dont know @luffingsails

OpenStudy (luffingsails):

Do you know that the slope is calculated by \[\frac{rise}{run}\] or \[\frac{change in y}{change in x}\] that should read change in y, and change in x.

OpenStudy (luffingsails):

So, look at the graph ... as you move in increasing x values... where are the y values decreasing?

@kl0723

OpenStudy (kl0723):

rise over run, this is really easy, you need to find where the function depicted on the graph decreases, meaning when its value goes down

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok....

OpenStudy (kl0723):

from the graphs i showed you can you tell where your function decreases?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok is it D?

OpenStudy (kl0723):

D is going upwards, it means it's increasing

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

oh... so A?

OpenStudy (kl0723):

A is same as D both parts are increasing, please look at the graph i showed u for increase and decrease so you can tell, don't guess

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

im not im trying..

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

oohhhhh BBBBBB

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

@kl0723

OpenStudy (kl0723):

C is decreasing, you're not comparing to the graphs i gave u

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

oh sorry i was just cobfused on this one..
