To graph the proportional relationship given by the equation \( y = -2x \), we can calculate a few points.
-
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 \( x = 2 \): \[ y = -2(2) = -4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (2, -4) \]
Now let's summarize the points we have calculated:
- \( (0, 0) \)
- \( (1, -2) \)
- \( (2, -4) \)
From the options provided, the correct set of points that matches the points we 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 \( (2, -4) \).
This shows the linear relationship \( y = -2x \), which is a negative slope, indicating that as \( x \) increases, \( y \) decreases.
