Answer:
X (the variable on the horizontal axis) will increases by 2.
Explanation:
The slope of a straight line is -3. So, m=6.
Slope of a straight line is
[tex]m=\dfrac{Rise}{Run}=\dfrac{\text{Change is y}}{\text{Change in x}}[/tex]
Y (the variable on the vertical axis) decreases by 6.
Change is y = -6
We need to find the change in (the variable on the horizontal axis).
Substitute the given values in the above formula.
[tex]-3=\dfrac{-6}{\text{Change in x}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Change in x}=\dfrac{-6}{-3}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Change in x}=2[/tex]
Note: All options are incorrect.
Therefore, X (the variable on the horizontal axis) will increases by 2.
