8line in the xy-plane contains points from each of quadrants ii, iii, and iv, but no points from quadrant i. which of the following must be true? a) the slope of line is undefined. b) the slope of line is zero. c) the slope of line is positive. d) the slope of line is negative. continue

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the change in y with respect to x.

If the slope of a line is undefined it means it is a vertical line and a vertical line  can not passes through three quadrants. So, option A is incorrect.

If the slope of a line is 0 it means it is a horizontal line and a horizontal line  can not passes through three quadrants. So, option B is incorrect.

If the slope of a line is positive it means the value of y increases as x increases.

Since it is an increasing line, therefore after a certain period both x and y will positive. It means the line will passes through first quadrant. So, option C is incorrect.

If the slope of a line is negative it means the value of y decreases as x increases. It can passes through each of Quadrants II, III, and IV.

Therefore the correct option is D.
