To graph the proportional relationship \( y = -2x \), you can find some points by selecting values for \( x \) and calculating the corresponding \( y \) values. Here are a few points:
-
When \( x = 0 \): \[ y = -2(0) = 0 \] Point: \( (0, 0) \)
-
When \( x = 1 \): \[ y = -2(1) = -2 \] Point: \( (1, -2) \)
-
When \( x = 2 \): \[ y = -2(2) = -4 \] Point: \( (2, -4) \)
These points are:
- \( (0, 0) \)
- \( (1, -2) \)
- \( (2, -4) \)
Among the responses listed, the correct one that matches the points calculated is:
A coordinate plane ranges from negative 9 to 9 in unit increments on the x-axis and from 11 to negative 11 in unit increments on the y-axis. A line with arrows at both the ends joins three plotted points and extends beyond. The coordinates of the plotted points are: \( (0, 0) \), \( (1, -2) \), and \( (2, -4) \).
