To solve this problem, we can begin by analyzing the graph and then eliminating incorrect answers. By looking at the graph, we can see that it has a positive correlation (the graph is increasing from left to right), which tells us that it has a positive slope. Using this knowledge, we can eliminate answer choices C and D, which both suggest equations with a negative slope (which would mean that the line was decreasing from left to right).
Next, we must analyze the slope. Answer A suggests that the slope is 3/2, meaning that the line rises 3 units for every 2 units it goes across. Answer B suggests that the slope is 1/2, meaning that the line rises 1 unit for every 2 units that it goes across. If we look at the graph, let's say at the point (0,3), the next closest point is 3 units up and 2 units across, which lets us know that the slope is positive 3/2.
Therefore, your answer is A. y = 3/2x + 3 (which is confirmed by the point we recognized, (0,3), which is the y-intercept of the equation).
Hope this helps!
9x +5y= -45
put in standard form
y= mx+b
coefficient of x is the slope, b is the y intercpept
5y= -9x -45
y= -9/5 x -45
graphing will start at -45 on the y axis
from that point go down 9 to the right 5 for the slope continue and graph minimum
2 points to draw the line
hope this helps
Look at this:
2x+$2,000=$28,000
2x=$28,000-$2,000
2x=$26,000
x=26,000 divided by 2
x=$13,000
