Categorize the graph as linear increasing, linear decreasing, exponential growth, or exponential decay.

Answer with explanation:

Taking to points on the linear function ,that is x intercept and y intercept which are, (-2.5,0) and (0,-5) and writing the equation of line

which is given by intercept form

y = -5 - 2 x

Taking y as a dependent variable ,and x as as independent variable

x       -1        0     1      2        3       4

y        -3       -5    -7     -9    -11       -13

with increase in x value ,y value decreases or vice versa.

that is , if

then it is a decreasing function.

So, the given function is linear decreasing function.

Option B: Linear Decreasing

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
