Which of the following describes a line with a slope of m=−2. Question 3 options: a) Falls to the right and the slope is steep b) Rises to the right and the slope is steep c) Rises to the right and the slope is gentle d) Falls to the right and the slope is gentle

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
