Q:

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

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The angle made by line with positive x axis is more than 90°Step-by-step explanation:A line is represented in slope intercept form as y=mx+cWhere 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 [tex]\theta[/tex] = negative [tex]\theta[/tex] > 90that means our line makes an obtuse angle that is more than 90° with the positive x axis.
