Question

Giving the rest of my points for this

The line given by the equation
y = (-2/5)x + 2
is graphed above. If the slope of the line is decreased by 1, how is the graph of the line affected?
A.
The line will rise faster as you move from left to right.
B.
The line will fall faster as you move from left to right.
C.
The line will rise slower as you move from left to right.
D.
The line will fall slower as you move from left to right.

Answer 1

B. The line will fall faster as you move from left to right.

Explanation:

As slope is decreased by 1, its shall fall much more quickly. The green line labels the line
`y = (-(2)/(5) x)+2` and red labels the line
`y = (-(2)/(5) x-x)+2`

As the slope is decreased, the line will fall much more steeply.

Answer 2

B. The line will fall faster as you move from left to right.

Explanation:

As slope is decreased by 1, its shall fall much more quickly. The green line labels the line
`y = (-(2)/(5) x)+2` and red labels the line
`y = (-(2)/(5) x-x)+2`

As the slope is decreased, the line will fall much more steeply.
