Answer: B. negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In a linear equation, the independent variable increases at a constant rate while the dependent variable decreases at a constant rate.

We know that the slope of a line is given by :-

k=\dfrac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}

According to the given information, if independent variable increases at a constant rate while the dependent variable decreases at a constant rate, then the slope of line will be :-

k=\dfrac{\text{Negative}}{\text{Positive}}=\text{Negative}

Hence, the slope of line = Negative.

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Except for the stretch factor, your work is completely correct. Multiplying only the x-coordinate by a factor of 2 results in a horizontal stretch by that factor.

Your coordinates and graph are correct.

In the comparison, you just need to say what happened.

Which is the best description for the graph below?<br><br> A graph decreases from (0, 3) to (9, 0).
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from (0, 3) to (9, 0), we see x increasing by 9.  This is the 'run.'

At the same time, we see y decreasing by 3.  This is the 'rise.'

The slope of this line (graph) is m = rise / run = -3/9, or m = -1/3

Since we witness a decrease in y as we move from the first point to the second, we immediately suspect that the slope is negative.
