Answer:
graph A
Step-by-step explanation:
When looking at a graph, there are two different axes. The vertical values--marked by the center up/down line--are "y-values"; and this is called the "y-axis"
The horizontal values--marked by the left/right line--are "x-values"; and this is called the "x-axis"
For the x-axis, values to the left side of the origin (the place where the y-axis and x-axis intercept) are smaller than 0--they are all negative values.
Values to the right side of the origin are positive--greater than 0.
For the y-axis, positive numbers are on the top half [once again, the midpoint / 0 is where the two lines are both = to 0; the origin] and negative numbers are on the bottom half.
Ordered pairs (points) are written as (x,y)
(x-value, y-value)
We are looking for a graph that decreases (along the y-axis), hits a point below the origin, and goes flat/stays constant.
When a graph is decreasing (note: we read graphs from left to right), the line of the graph is slanted downwards (it looks like a line going down).
So, if we look at the graphs, we can see Graph A descending, crossing the y-axis {crossing the middle line /vertical line / y-axis} at a value of -7, and then staying constant (it is no longer increasing or decreasing because the y-values stay the same)
hope this helps!!
8/12 is equal to 2/3 because 2 x 4 and 3 x 4 equals 8/12
