Question:

A functional relation between the two variables which is expressed as $y = 50-x$, will have _______ slope.

Options:

Downward

Upward

Vertical

Horizontal

Correct Answer:

Downward

Explanation:

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.
