Question

lines m and n are graphed on the coordinate plane. select all of the statements that are true. line m has a negative slope. line m has a positive slope. line n has a negative slope. line n has a positive slope. line ms y - intercept is greater than line ns y - intercept. line ms y - intercept is less than line ns y - intercept. lines m and n have the same y - intercept.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope - concept

If a line goes down from left to right, it has a negative slope. If it goes up from left to right, it has a positive slope.

Step2: Analyze line m

Line m goes down from left to right, so its slope is negative.

Step3: Analyze line n

Line n goes up from left to right, so its slope is positive.

Step4: Recall y - intercept concept

The y - intercept is the point where the line crosses the y - axis.

Step5: Analyze y - intercepts

Line m crosses the y - axis above the origin and line n crosses the y - axis below the origin. So line m's y - intercept is greater than line n's y - intercept.

Answer:

Line m has a negative slope
Line n has a positive slope
Line m's y - intercept is greater than line n's y - intercept
