Answer :

The difference between outputs are

[tex]-3-2=-5[/tex][tex]-8-(-3)=-8+3=-5[/tex][tex]-13-(-8)=-13+8=-5[/tex]

The differences between outputs are the same, hence this relation is linear

The values are decreasing from 2 to -13.

Hence the given relationship is decreasing and linear.

Option C is correct.
