To graph the proportional relationship given by the equation \( y = -2x \), we can plot points by substituting different values for \( x \):
-
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 \( x = 2 \): \[ y = -2(2) = -4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (2, -4) \]
Using these points, we have the coordinates \((0, 0)\), \((1, -2)\), and \((2, -4)\).
The correct representation of the graph would include these points, along with a line extending through them in both directions. Therefore, the description that matches this 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).
