Considering the graph of a line with a negative slope, which of the following could be true? check all that apply

a. the line goes up from left to right.
b. as the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the
graph of the line gets less steep.
c. the line shifts up.
d. as the absolute value of the negative slope gets bigger, the graph
of the line gets less steep.
e. the line goes down from left to right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following statements are true:

B. As the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the

graph of the line gets less steep.

E. The line goes down from left to right.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

answer: an 8-foot rope is tied from the top of a pole to a

stake in the ground, as shown in the diagram
