The given proportional relationship is y = -5x.
Therefore the ratio
y/x = -5 = -5/1

If x changes by 1, then y/x = y/1 = -5.
This means that y changes by -5 when x changes by 1.
The ratio of vertical change is -5:1

The standard equation for a straight line is
y = m*x + c
where
m = the slope,
c = the y-intercept.

Therefore the given relationship is a straight line with a negative slope of -5. This means that y decreases as x increases.

Answer: C
-5:1
The graph decreases from left to right.

What is the slope and y-intercept of –2x + 4y = 16<br> please show work!!
Lilit [14]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so the find slope you have the put the line in y-mx+b form.  In -2x+4y=16 to get 'y' by its slef you have to add 2y to each side.  4y=16+2x then you have to divide by 4 to get y alone.  y=4+1/2x

Your slope is 1/2
