Question

the graph of a line goes down and to the right when: a. there is no coefficient of x. b. the coefficient of x is positive. c. the coefficient of x is 0. d. the coefficient of x is negative.

Explanation:

The slope - intercept form of a line is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the coefficient of $x$ (the slope). A negative slope means that as $x$ increases (moves to the right), $y$ decreases (moves down).

Answer:

D. the coefficient of $x$ is negative.
