Question

Which of the following is best modeled using a linear equation y=ax+b, where a is less than 0?

Answer 1

We are given y = ax + b.

Here, [a] represents the slope.

Which graph shows NEGATIVE SLOPE?

The graph starting at the upper left going to the bottom right is CHOICE C.

CHOICE C is the answer because the slope [a] must be negative.

Answer 2

Your answer should be C because the slope line is negative so you're answer should be negative
