To determine which words correctly describe the function, we’d need to analyze the characteristics of the function in question. However, given that we don’t have specific information about the function itself, we can make some general observations based on the terms provided.

  1. Nonlinear - This could apply if the function does not form a straight line when graphed.
  2. The slope is negative - This applies if the function decreases as x increases.
  3. The slope is positive - This applies if the function increases as x increases.
  4. Nonproportional - This applies if the function does not maintain a constant ratio or does not pass through the origin.
  5. After 60 hours, you are making $6 per hour - This describes a specific point or situation and could suggest a linear relationship if this rate remains constant.
  6. Increasing - This indicates that as x increases, y also increases.
  7. Proportional - This applies if the function maintains a constant ratio (linear and passing through the origin).
  8. Decreasing - This indicates the opposite of increasing.
  9. Linear - This applies if the relationship can be described with a straight line.
  10. Continuous rate of change - This suggests the function changes at a constant rate over its domain.
  11. After 2 hours, you are making $30 income - Similar to the earlier specific point, but could indicate a different stage.

Without more specific context about the nature of the function, you would select those that directly apply to it based on either the graph or the manner in which it is defined.

If you provide specific details or characteristics of the function, I could help narrow down the options even further.
