A line with a negative slope and a negative
y-intercept is graphed on a coordinate
plane. Which quadrant will the line not pass
through? Justify your response.

Answer:

First quadrant will the line not pass.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line has a negative slope. It means with increasing value of x, y will be decreasing. It has a negative y-intercept that is at x = 0, y is less than 0.

If the value of x will be greater than 0, the value of y will be going downwards continuously.

If x > 0, y < 0, as the line has a negative y-intercept.

A point in first quadrant means x > 0 as well as y > 0.

Hence, the line cannot pass through the first quadrant.
