Question

If right answer good review

Answer 1

a is negative and p is positive

Explanation:

The equation y = ax + p is written in slope-intercept form, where a is the slope and p is the y-intercept.

When a slope is negative, the line goes down the further right it goes.

The line on the graph lowers as it moves right, which means that the slope(a) is negative.

The line intercepts the y-axis above the origin, which means that it must be positive.

Answer 2

Top left: a is negative and p is positive

Explanation:

The formula y = ax + p is referring to the formula y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since the line is going down, the slope is negative-- a is negative.

Since the line crosses the y-axis above the origin, the y-intercept is positive-- p is positive.
