Answer: Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line, by definition, has the following form:
y=mx+b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
As you can see in the graph, the line intercept the y-axis at 2, therefore b=2.
Now, to find the slope, choose any point of the line and solve for m:
Point (1,1)
1=m(1)+2
-1=m
Then, the equation is:
y=-x+2
It is the first answer choice
You can see that the area of the blue rug is 2*2 or 4. The area of the rug needed to cover the stain will have to be 4*4 or 16. This means that the original rug will need to be dilated by 4 to cover the stain (4 (original) times 4 = 16 (new))
