Algebra-1

To determine which pair of points would yield a line with a negative slope, we'll use the slope formula: , where and are the coordinates of two points on the line.

Let's calculate the slope for each pair of points:

A. For the points and

Here , , , and .

The slope of the line passing through these points is , which means it's a horizontal line.

B. For the points and

Here , , , and .
