Answer 3

@ganeshie8 no it didn't :(

Answer 4

ohk, do you know how to identify an ascending line or a descending line on graph ?

Answer 5

descending line looks like above ^^

Answer 6

\(\large y = kx + 3\)

since the \(y\) coordinate is decresing as \(x\) is increasing, the value of \(k\) has to be negative

Answer 7

Okay I get that

Answer 8

\(\large k \lt 0\) for descending lines

Answer 9

ohhh that makes so much sense now! I just had a light bulb moment thank you! I feel stupid
