Answer 1

line is increasing or decreasing ???

Answer 2

I think decreasing. Cause its going from left to right. it didn't show any other identification but that.

Answer 3

yes so its decreasing so its mean your slope should be negative so now you can cancel out two answer choices

Answer 4

Ok you can cancel out D and C

Answer 5

Would it be A Because the rise is positive and the run would be negative. ?

Answer 6

nope how did you cancel out d

Answer 7

c is positive bec rise and run both are positive then cancel this one
what about B they said rise and run both are negative
so they told you that slope is rise/run then
what you get when you divide negative by negative

Answer 8

Ok I change my mind. I think its B too.!

Answer 9

why and how its b ??

Answer 10

b says both are negative
so what is negative divide by negative
