The graph of a linear function is shown. A coordinate plane with a straight line passing through (negative 4, 2), (0, 0), and (4, negative 2).
Which word describes the slope of the line?

positive
negative
zero
undefined

Zeros can be observed graphically or solved for algebraically. A linear function can have none, one, or infinitely many zeros. If the function is a horizontal line ( slope = [latex]0[/latex]), it will have no zeros unless its equation is [latex]y=0[/latex], in which case it will have infinitely many.

answer is negative

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
