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.

6n + 28 because the difference is 12 so if u half that to get the second it’s 6 hence 6n and then u have to add 6 to 22 to get 28 and it’s a positive number so therefore the expression is 6n+ 28
