When you have an equation in this form y=mx+b....if the slope is a whole number that is negative,is both the rise and run negative??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, give me an example, and I will explain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-2x+8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could say that the -2 is equivalent to (-2)/1, therefore, the graph would be -2 as the rise, and 1 as the run.
