SOLUTION: We are working on linear equations and slope equations and one question says "Determine a value for B and B such that the line will have a negative slope and a negative y intercept

Question 702503: We are working on linear equations and slope equations and one question says "Determine a value for B and B such that the line will have a negative slope and a negative y intercept. Explain how you determine your answer. (-2x+By=C)"
Any help you can give me to find a way to solve this problem would be appreciated.

First, put it into the slope-intercept form
Add to both sides

Divide both sides by

The slope is
The y-intercept is
If is negative and is positive,
both the slope and y-intercept
will be negative
I will say:

Here's the plot:
