A line segment has an endpoint at (5, 2) and has a negative slope. Which of the following points could be the other endpoint?
To have a negative slope, the y-coordinate of the other endpoint must be less than 2 (since the y-coordinate of the given endpoint is 2).
The x-coordinate of the other endpoint could be any number that is greater than 5, less than 5, or equal to 5. Therefore, the x-coordinate is not a constraint in this case.
However, the y-coordinate must be less than 2. Therefore, the other endpoint could be any point with a y-coordinate less than 2.
Possible points that could be the other endpoint include:
(6, 1)
(7, 0)
(5, -1)
(5, -2)
