Answer:

B: goes down and to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line's formula is y=ax, we know that the line is linear.

The value of a depicts the slope (rise/run).

The constant is negative, meaning that a could be -x/y or x/-y.

If it is -x/y, then the slope goes down x and right y.

If it is x/-y, then the slope goes up x and left y.

Remember that -x/y = x/-y
