Question

Help! Which answer is correct?

Answer 1

Well, since the graph starts at (0,50), making our y-intercept 50, we can knock off D as an option.

The next step is to find the slope. To do this, find two points and subtract the y values over the x values. (Just make sure that whichever y value you start with - start with the same x value).

So we have >>> (50, 200) and (0,50) from earlier.

200 - 50 / 50 - 0 = 150/50 or 3/1, or 3.

This makes the correct answer A since the equation is represented as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and m has a value of 3.
