To graph the proportional relationship given by the equation \( y = -2x \), we can calculate a few points that satisfy this equation:
-
When \( x = 0 \): \[ y = -2(0) = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (0, 0) \]
-
When \( x = 1 \): \[ y = -2(1) = -2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (1, -2) \]
-
When \( x = 2 \): \[ y = -2(2) = -4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (2, -4) \]
-
When \( x = -1 \): \[ y = -2(-1) = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (-1, 2) \]
-
When \( x = -2 \): \[ y = -2(-2) = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (-2, 4) \]
Now, let’s analyze which of the provided options includes points that satisfy this equation. The relevant points should include the plotted coordinates (0, 0), (1, -2), and (2, -4).
From the given choices:
- Option 1: Contains the points (0, 0), (1, -1), and (2, -2) — Not correct.
- Option 2: Contains (0, 0), (1, 5), and (2, 10) — Not correct.
- Option 3: Contains (0, 0), (1, -2), and (2, -4) — Correct.
- Option 4: Contains (0, 0), (1, 2), and (2, 4) — Not correct.
Thus, the correct response that graphs the proportional relationship \( y = -2x \) is Option 3: A coordinate plane that includes the points (0, 0), (1, -2), and (2, -4).
