Question

Come up with a new linear function that has a slope that falls in the range -1<m<0.

I don't really understand how to find this out. Can someone lead me in the right direction please?

Answer 1

You should know that linear functions can be written in the form y = mx + b , (the y-intercept form), except vertical lines which have the form x = c

so let's pick any slope from -1 to 0. How about m = -1/4

Equations with such a slope are
y = (-1/4)x + 7
or
y = (-1/4)x + 3.2575
or
y = (-1/4)x - 5/6

etc
