Question

Which statement is true about the slope of the graphed line


A.
The slope is negative.
B.
The slope is positive.
C.
The slope is zero.
D.
The slope is undefined.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. the slope is negative

Answer 2

From the given graph slope will be :-

 slope = m = Tan (∅) = (y/x) .

since the graph is tilt and (∅) is greater than 90 degrees so.

slope = m = Tan (∅) < 0   (In 2nd quadrant).

or , slope is negative.

If the slope of the graphed line is negative, then option A, "The slope is negative," is true. A negative slope means that the line is decreasing from left to right, and the slope is calculated as the ratio of the change in y-coordinate to the change in x-coordinate between any two points on the line. If this ratio is negative, then the slope is negative.

For example, consider the line with equation y = -2x + 5. This is a line with a negative slope of -2. This means that for every unit increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate decreases by 2 units.
