thesmartone · Answer

so does your line have a positive slope or a negative slope?

anonymous · Answer

Negative?

thesmartone · Answer

correct, so which answer choices show a positive slope?

those that show a positive slope, we can eliminate them :)

anonymous · Answer

C and D?

thesmartone · Answer

well, actually, it seems like they all have negative slopes so we can't eliminate any of them.

anonymous · Answer

oh lol obviously... I thought it was B

thesmartone · Answer

ok, since the equation is in the from y=mx +b

plug in x = 0 and let's solve for y.

That will tell us the y-intercept. :)

anonymous · Answer

Im confused? would we have to divide

radar · Answer

Both B and D have a Y intercept of -1, they both have negative slopes.......but only 1 is correct.

anonymous · Answer

So B and D aren't correct?

thesmartone · Answer

One of them is correct. :)

anonymous · Answer

I thought it was B?

thesmartone · Answer
