Which lines have a slope of -2?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Line A
• Line B

Step-by-step explanation:

When the problem is asking which lines have a slope of -2, this is referring to the steepness or rate of change. To determine which lines have a slope of -2, the line must have a rise of -2 and a run of 1. This means that the line will go down 2 units every 1 unit to the right.

Also, if a line is parallel (lines which never cross), it will have the same slope.

You can also eliminate lines c, and d because they increase while lines a, and b decrease. A and B have the same slope because they are parallel and decrease which means that this must be the answer.
