The graph shows a decreasing exponential model.

The vertical axis represents:

" Licensed sellers "

The horizontal axis represents:

" Time in years "

The graph starts near 700 licensed sellers and decreases over time. However, it does not appear to decrease all the way to 0. Instead, it levels off near:

y=100

That horizontal line is the horizontal asymptote.

A horizontal asymptote represents the long-term value the function approaches as time continues.

So the correct interpretation is:

" In the long run, the number of licensed sellers nears 100. "

Therefore, the correct answer is:

â–­ ( " C " )

The graph models the number of widgets the team can produce each day.

The horizontal axis represents:

" days "

The vertical axis represents:

" widgets "

The graph gives two labeled points:

(6│3.4)

and

(14│23)

The average rate of change is:

" change in widgets " / " change in days "

Substitute the values:

(23-3.4)/(14-6)

=19.6/8

=2.45

Rounded to the nearest tenth:

2.5

This means the team increased production by an average of approximately:

2.5 " widgets each day "

Therefore, the correct answer is:

â–­ ( " B " )
