For animals weighing 15–40 pounds, the grooming price is increasing.

For animals weighing 15–40 pounds, the grooming price is the same value at $35.

For animals weighing 15–40 pounds, the grooming price is the same value at $40.

For animals weighing 15–40 pounds, the grooming price is decreasing.

Answer 1

I can’t tell from your question alone because I don’t have the graph or price data. To decide which choice is correct, do this:

- Look at the grooming price at weight 15 lb and at weight 40 lb.
- If price at 40 > price at 15, the price is increasing on 15–40 lb.
- If price at 40 < price at 15, the price is decreasing on 15–40 lb.
- If price at 40 = price at 15, the price is constant on 15–40 lb; then check whether that common value is $35 or $40 to pick the right option.

Or compute slope = (price at 40 − price at 15) / (40 − 15): positive = increasing, zero = constant, negative = decreasing.

If you paste the graph or the two prices (at 15 lb and 40 lb), I’ll pick the correct answer.
