Which of the following represents a linear function with a negative slope?

A

y=−3x+2y = -3x + 2

B

y=3x−2y = 3x - 2

C

y=2y = 2

D

x=−3x = -3

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Check the coefficient of xx.

  1. Form: y=mx+by = mx + b.
  2. Check A: m=−3m = -3 (Negative).
  3. Check B: m=3m = 3 (Positive).
  4. Check C: m=0m = 0 (Zero).
  5. Check D: Undefined slope.

💡 Strategic Tip: Only a negative coefficient of xx indicates a negative slope.

Choice B is incorrect.Choice C is incorrect.Choice D is incorrect.
