To answer the questions based on the provided context, we can deduce the following:
a. The slope of the line given by the equation \( y = -\frac{4}{3}x \) is \( -\frac{4}{3} \).
So for the response area for part a, you would enter: -4/3.
b. The equation \( y = -\frac{4}{3}x \) was shifted downward to get the graph of \( y = -\frac{4}{3}x - 5 \). This indicates a vertical shift downward by 5 units.
For the response area for part b, you would enter: downward.
Make sure to insert these responses into the appropriate areas as indicated.
