A) f(x) = 2x -2
B) x = -2
C)y = -5
D)2x + 7y = -5

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A line with a negative slope means that as x increases, y decreases. The only option that represents a line (not a vertical or horizontal line) with a negative slope when solved for y is D) 2x + 7y = -5, which simplifies to y = -(2/7)x - 5/7, showing a negative slope of -2/7.
