Is the line increasing or decreasing?
y=-2x+5
(pls explain because im totally lost)


Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this is the slope equation

-2 is the slope

x is point x

5 is the y intercept

y is point y

the regular equation it y = mx + b

the slope is negative so it is decreasing aka gooing down

sorryy if this is the wrong answer to your question

Well, first of all, this line is decreasing. The reason for that is because first of all, it shows that the y-intercept is 5 so, on your graph, your line would start a 5 on the y axis. Now, the slope is the same thing as rise/Run so, -2 is the same thing as -2/1 which means that you would go down 2 units and then you would go across to the right 1 unit and if and when you plot and do this on your graph, you will end up with a line that is decreasing.
