question 2

Multiple Choice

Find the slope of the graph and they y -intercept. Then sketch the graph for values of x between -10 and 10.
- $y = - 4 x - 5$

• A) slope \(= - \frac { 1 } { 4 } ; y\) intercept \(= ( 0 , - 5 )\)
• B) slope \(= - \frac { 1 } { 4 } ; \mathrm { y }\) intercept \(= ( - 5,0 )\)
• C) slope \(= - 4 ; \mathrm { y }\) intercept \(= ( 0 , - 5 )\)
• D) slope \(= - 4 ; \mathrm { y }\) intercept \(= ( - 5,0 )\)
