Four points showing a decrease in number of comic books with an increase in money remaining are plotted on a coordinate plane. The y-axis is labeled number of comic books. The x-axis is labeled money remaining.

Answer 1

To analyze Eric's comic book purchases, we can set up a table to show how much money he has left after buying each comic book.

Table of Money Remaining After Each Purchase:

| Number of Comic Books Purchased | Money Remaining | |---------------------------------|-----------------| | 0 | $27.00 | | 1 | $23.00 | | 2 | $19.00 | | 3 | $15.00 | | 4 | $11.00 | | 5 | $7.00 | | 6 | $3.00 | | 7 | -$1.00 |

Based on the table, we can see that with each purchase of a comic book ($4), Eric's remaining money decreases.

Graphing the Data:

For the graph, the x-axis should represent the number of comic books purchased, and the y-axis should represent the money remaining.

With this setup in mind, the correct choice among the options provided is:

Four points showing a decrease in money remaining with an increase in number of comic books are plotted on a coordinate plane. The y-axis is labeled money remaining. The x-axis is labeled number of comic books.

This option correctly describes the relationship depicted: as the number of comic books increases, the money remaining decreases.

Therefore, the answer is option 2 (or whichever matches the correct description provided).
