Question
Identify the graph(s) of lines with a negative slope.Explanation / Answer
Dear Student Thank you for using Chegg !! Kindly note that slope of a line is defined as change in y coordinate corresponding to a unit change in x coordinate. If the change in y coordinate is positive => positive slope If change in y coordinate is negative => negative slope From the given options Option A) For a unit change in x axis , y coordinate increases by 2 units Hence slope of line is +2 Option B) The x coordinate is indicated as constant and does not change Hence slope of such a line is Infinity Option C) The y coordinate is indicated as constant and does not change for a unit change in x coordinate Hence slope of such a line is 0 Option D) For option D , it is indicated as for 4 units change in x axis , y coordinate decreases by 2 untis Hence slope of line is given by -2/4 -1/2 Hence of the given 4 options, we have identified that only option D has negative slope
