A functional relation between the two variables which is expressed as $y = 50-x$, will have _______ slope.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Downward
The given equation is:
y=50−x
Here, the coefficient of x is –1, which means the slope is negative. A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, showing a downward-sloping relationship between the two variables.
