Question

In the equation y= -2x -3 over 5, identify the slope, the y-intercept, and whether the line is rising, falling, horizontal, or vertical

(Select three that apply)
A. Slope = -3/5
B. Slope = 3/5
C. Slope = 2
D. Slope = -2
E. Y-intercept = 3/5
F. Y-intercept = -3/5
G. Y-intercept = 2
H. Y-intercept = -2
I. Rising
J. Falling
K. Horizontal
I. Vertical

Answer 1

Slope = -2

y-intercept = -3/5

Falling

Explanation:

`y= -2x - (3)/(5) \\ y = mx + b`

m = Slope = -2

y-intercept = b =

`- (3)/(5)`

The slope of the equation has a negative number so the graph is falling
