To graph the proportional relationship described by the equation \( y = -2x \), we can generate several points by plugging in values of \( x \) and calculating \( y \).
Here are some points we can calculate:
-
For \( x = 0 \):
\[ y = -2(0) = 0 \quad \text{(Point: (0, 0))} \] -
For \( x = 1 \):
\[ y = -2(1) = -2 \quad \text{(Point: (1, -2))} \] -
For \( x = 2 \):
\[ y = -2(2) = -4 \quad \text{(Point: (2, -4))} \]
So, the points we have are:
- \( (0, 0) \)
- \( (1, -2) \)
- \( (2, -4) \)
Now, looking at the options given:
- The correct set of points based on the equation \( y = -2x \) is: (0, 0), (1, -2), and (2, -4).
Therefore, the image matching this description is the one showing these points as plotted on the coordinate plane.
