Homework Equations
None
The Attempt at a Solution
I said the slope is negative and the change in slope is increasing (going closer to zero) as the values of x increase. But the answer in the text says its negative but the slope is decreasing. I compared to a few other text questions and it goes back and forth on the same shape on other questions, am i missing something?
thanks.
