Question

Responses

linear function with a negative rate of change

linear function with a positive rate of change
linear function with a positive rate of change

exponential decay function

Answer 1

The situation described involves withdrawing a constant amount of $1000 each day from a bank vault without any additions. This indicates a consistent decrease in the total amount over time.

The best model for this situation is:

**linear function with a negative rate of change**

This is because the withdrawal amount is constant (linear), and the value is decreasing (negative rate of change).
