A. 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.

Answer 1

To determine how much money Eric has left after purchasing comic books, we can create a table based on the number of comic books he buys. Each comic book costs $4.00, and we will denote the number of comic books purchased in the first column, with the corresponding money remaining in the second column.

Here's the table:

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

From the table, you can see that each time Eric buys a comic book, his money decreases by $4.00.

Now, plotting this data on a coordinate plane:

• The x-axis will represent the number of comic books purchased.
• The y-axis will represent the money remaining.

Given the choices, the correct choice will describe a graph that shows a decrease in money remaining (y) with an increase in the number of comic books (x).

Thus, the correct response would be:

A. 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.

(It's important to note that Options A, C, and D appear to be similar, but based on your description, you can choose the correct one among them based on their presentation in the image you provided.)
