Question

Which equation represents the graph below

Answer 1

Answer: b. -2x+3y=12

Step-by-step explanation: the y intercept is 4, and the line intercepts the x- axis at -6. Therefore, the slope of the line is 4/6=2/3. The format for a linear equation is y=(slope)x+y intercept. So the equation would be y=2/3x+4. You can see that answer b simplifies to that. Add 2x from both sides of the equation and you get 3y=2x+12. Divide both sides of the equation by 3 and you get y=2/3x+4
