Which of the following best describes the slope of the line below?

B negative

Step-by-step explanation:

A vertical line has a slope that is undefined

A horizontal line has a slope that is zero

A line that goes down from left to right is negative

A line that goes up from left to right is positive

This line goes down, so the slope is negative

B. Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the ratio ...

(change in y)/(change in x)

When the line slopes down to the right, the change in y will be negative for a positive change in x. The ratio of a negative and positive number will be negative.

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
