Answer 1

The attached image completes the question.

Answer:

- The part (0, 12000) is constant and the slope is zero

- The part (12000, 38000) is decreasing and slope is negative 0.26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Checking the given graph, we see that

For x = 0  to x = 12,000, the values of y are unchanged. For this, we say it is constant.

The slope here is: 0.85 - 0.85 = 0

For x = 12,000  to x = 38,000, the values of y are decreasing. For this, we say it is negative.

The slope here is: 0.59 - 0.85 = -0.26.
