In a rectangular coordinate system, does line k intersect quadrant II?

(1) The slope of k is -1/6

(2) The y-intercept of k is -6





OA is Abut can anybody explain why a negative slope can only intercept at quadrant 2? where can i find more information?

thanks

Remember this
Lines with a positive slope always pass through quadrants I and III. They also pass through exactly 1 of quadrant II, quadrant IV or the origin (i.e. 0,0).

Lines with a negative slope always pass through quadrants II and IV. They also pass through exactly 1 of quadrant I, quadrant III or the origin.

To learn more about slopes refer to this link
