Which set of ordered pairs would define a line with a negative slope? A. (2, 3) and (-4, -1) B. (5, 5) and (0, 1) C. (3, 6) and (5, 1) D. (2, 3) and (7, 6)

answer: b.

step-by-step explanation:

it is b. cause the equations are put in the right category

answer: can and shows the work

step-by-step explanation:

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
