In the line \(y=-\frac{2}{7}x+15\), how much will (y) decrease when (x) increases by (21)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(6\)

The slope of the line is \(-\frac{2}{7}\). This means that for every increase of \(7\) in \(x\), \(y\) decreases by \(2\). Since \(21=3\times7\), an increase of \(21\) in \(x\) makes \(y\) decrease by \(3\times2=6\). Therefore, \(6\) is correct. Exam tip: A negative slope means that \(y\) decreases as \(x\) increases.
