Question

which term describes the slope of the line below? a. negative b. zero c. undefined d. positive

Explanation:

To determine the slope's description, we analyze the line's direction. A line with a negative slope decreases from left to right (as \(x\) increases, \(y\) decreases). The given line falls as we move from left to right, so its slope is negative. A zero slope is horizontal, an undefined slope is vertical, and a positive slope rises from left to right—none of these match the line here.

Answer:

A. Negative
