what happens to the graph of a line when the slope is negative? Check all that apply. may choose more then 1.

AAs the absolute value of the negative slope gets bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper.

BAs the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets steeper.

CThe line goes down from left to right.

DThe line shifts down.

EThe line goes up from left to right

Verified Answer :

the line goes down from left to right

Lets write one of general equations for line
y=kx+n

k is coefficient which tells us about slope. The higher the k is, the faster y changes for same change of x value.

Therefore A is  correct and B isnt

C is correct. because for positive changes of x you have negative change of y because of negative coeficient which when multiplied by positive value of x will give negative value.

D isnt correct. n is parameter that influences shifting.

E is oposite from C therfore it isnt correct.
