C ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

C is correct. I'm sure you figured out why B is not correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes because when you put them on the other side they change the charges right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

exactly !! since u mastered slope-intercept form, its easy for u to figure out slope :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when u put them on the other side, the x coefficient changes to +, but the given slope is -, so B is not correct.
