Does the graph of the equation y = 7 - 2x increase or decrease? A) decreases because the x values decrease from left to right B) decreases because the y values decrease from left to right

Decrease because the x value is negative.

Y=mx+b

m=slope=rise/run

if slope>0, then it increases

if slope<0, then decreases because it is going down

y=7-2x

y=-2x+7

-2<0

decreasing

because the y values decrease from left to right

the x values always increase if you go from left to right

B is the answer
