Question #53f4c

Answer 1

Since `k` is negative (less than `0`), and `q` is increasing, then p will get smaller and smaller.

For example, let's say `k` is `-2`.

`p=-2q`

`"When"` `q=1,p=-2`.

`"When"` `q=2,p=-4`

`"When"` `q=3,p=-6`

As you can see, as `q` gets larger, `p` gets smaller (multiplying a negative with a positive, the answer gets smaller as the positive or negative gets larger).

Let's test this out with a different set:

`p=-9q`

`"When"` `q=1,p=-9`

`"When"` `q=2,p= -18`

`"When"` `q=3,p= -27`.

As you can see, as `q` gets larger, `p` gets smaller.

Yay!
