Question

Is the line increasing or decreasing?
y=-2x+5
(pls explain because im totally lost)

Answer 1

Well, first of all, this line is decreasing. The reason for that is because first of all, it shows that the y-intercept is 5 so, on your graph, your line would start a 5 on the y axis. Now, the slope is the same thing as rise/Run so, -2 is the same thing as -2/1 which means that you would go down 2 units and then you would go across to the right 1 unit and if and when you plot and do this on your graph, you will end up with a line that is decreasing.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Assuming this is the slope equation

-2 is the slope

x is point x

5 is the y intercept

y is point y

the regular equation it y = mx + b

the slope is negative so it is decreasing aka gooing down

sorryy if this is the wrong answer to your question
