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.

The data points are as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma 27 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 23 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 19 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 3 comma 15 right parenthesis. The vertical axis is labeled from 0 to 30 in increments of 2. The horizontal axis is labeled from 0 to 10 in increments of 1.

Answer 1

Table (number of comics, money remaining):
- 0 comics: $27
- 1 comic: $23
- 2 comics: $19
- 3 comics: $15
(Arithmetic sequence: a0 = 27, common difference = −4.)

The correct graph is the one with the x-axis = number of comic books, y-axis = money remaining, and points (0,27), (1,23), (2,19), (3,15). (This is the second response option.)
