Question

Consider the equation y = negative 2 x + 5. Create a table of five ordered pairs that satify the equation. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation? a. M = 2 b. M = 5 c. M = negative 2 d. M = negative 5.

Answer 1

Answer: C

Explanation:

Slope is the number right in front of x, which in this case would be -2. So C is the answer.

Creating a table is hard, so I'll try my best. Just pretend the vertical line is connected.

x|y

0|5

1|3

2|1

3|-1

4|-3
