Question

Which statement can be made about a line in slope-intercept form when the graph of the line appears to slant downward from left to right?

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

The equation of line in Slope intercept form is:

⇒    y= m x +C

y= x tan (Angle made by line with positive Direction of X axis) +C(Y-Intercept)

It is given that, graph of the line appears to slant downward from left to right.

⇒It means ,the angle that the line is making with X axis should be:

   90°<Angle<180°

  as i have drawn the line about the given information.

⇒Tan (90°< Angle <180°)= Negative

So, we can say that slope of line will be Negative.

Answer 2

That is a negative slope
The coefficient of x in the equation of the line will be negative.
