Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept is usually written as y = mx + b form, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the y value when x is equal to 0.
We can first eliminate C, because the y-intercept of the graph is 1.
To solve for slope, which is the m, choose two points, (-1, 5) and (1, -3).
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
= (-3 - 5) / (1 - (-1))
= (-3 - 5) / (1 + 1)
= -8/2
= -4
Plug in the slope and y-intercept, we get y = -4x + 1
X is greater than or equal to -5
To find slope, we must find the change in y values divided by the change in x values, also called the rise/run. This is modeled below:
Slope = m = (y1 - y2)/(x1-x2) = (6-(-3))/(1 - (-6)) = (6+3)/(1+6) = 9/7
We can check that this answer is correct by consulting the graph. The graph shows a positive correlation (means that the slope should be positive), and if you count the graph unit squares, you get that the graph moves up 9 squares and over 7 squares between the two points shown, letting us know we got the right answer.
Hope this helps!
