Question

which statement best describes a line in slope intercept form when the coefficient of the x term is negative

Answer 1

the line slants up

Explanation:

Answer 2

The angle made by line with positive x axis is more than 90°

Explanation:

A line is represented in slope intercept form as

y=mx+c

Where m is called the slope of the line and c is called the y intercept .

Here by slope we means the tangent of the angle , the line makes with the positive x axis .

Now in the case when the coefficient of x is negative , that means the tangent of the angle which line makes with the positive direction of x axis is negative

or

tan
`\theta` = negative

`\theta` > 90

that means our line makes an obtuse angle that is more than 90° with the positive x axis.
