Question

Does the graph of the equation y = 7 - 2x increase or decrease? A) decreases because the x values decrease from left to right B) decreases because the y values decrease from left to right

Answer 1

Y=mx+b
m=slope=rise/run
if slope>0, then it increases
if slope<0, then decreases because it is going down


y=7-2x
y=-2x+7
-2<0
decreasing
because the y values decrease from left to right
the x values always increase if you go from left to right

B is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is B, decreases because the y values decrease from left to right
