X + (x − 2) + (x − 4) = ? ; In which
<span>
x + x </span>− 2 + x − 4 ;
Combine the "like terms" ;
x + x + x = 3x ;
− 2 − 4 = −6 ;
So we have: "3x − 6" as the sum. ;
___________________________
The sum of three consecutive odd integers, in which "x" is the greatest integer; is: "3x − 6" .
_____________________________________________
Note: The three consecutive odd integers, from least to greatest, are:
"(x − 4)" , "(x − 2)" , and "x" .
The sum is: "(3x − 6)<span>" .
</span>_____________________________________________
Note: "(3x − 6)" factors into: " 3(x −2)" .
Note that: " (x − 2) " is the second integer.
______________________________________________
So the sum total, which is: "(3x − 6)" ; is 3 (three) times the value of the second integer; that is, "3 (x − 2)" .

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the equation is
1- (-2)/-1-0 = 3/-1 = -3
the slope of y= -3x-2 is -3
