(6, 9), (5, 7)
(–8, 1), (8, –8)
(2, –8), (–1, –9)

A negative slope means that point A is higher and before than point B. A is out because it goes from a lower, further back point to a higher point, B is also out because you go from the lowest X value, so the 2 values need to be switched, C is correct because the X value increases as the Y value decreases.

The pair of points (-8,1) and (8,-8) has a negative slope.

We have given that,

pair of points

(–9, –2), (3, 6)

(6, 9), (5, 7)

(–8, 1), (8, –8)

(2, –8), (–1, –9)

We have to determine Which pair has a negative slope.

What is the meaning of a negative slope?

A negative slope means that point A is higher and before than point B. A is out because it goes from a lower, further back point to a higher point, and B is also out because you go from the lowest X value.

Therefore in given points, the 2 values need to be switched, The X value increases as the Y value decreases.

Therefore option C is correct.

Therefore the point (-8,1) and (8,-8) has a negative slope.
