Which is the correct graph for the equation?
1 answer:
Answer:
From the given graph, we can easily determine that graph A contains the y-intercept b = 3.
Thus, option A is the correct option.
The graph of the equation is also attached below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of the line equation
where
- m is the slope
- b is the y-intercept
Given the function
2x+5y=15
converting the equation into the slope-intercept form
5y = -2x + 15
divide both sides by 5
y = -2/5x + 3
Thus,
The slope of the line is: m = -2/5
The y-intercept of the line: b = 3
In other words, the ordered pair (0, 3) represents the y-intercept.
From the given graph, we can easily determine that graph A contains the y-intercept b = 3.
Thus, option A is the correct option.

Hi Student!
This question is fairly simple because it gives us an equation and they also give us a value for the variable that is within the equation and they tell us evaluate the expression. So let's plug in the values and solve.
<u>Plug in the values</u>
<u>Factor out the exponent</u>
<u>Combine</u>
Therefore, the final answer that we would get when substituting m with 9 in the given equation is that we get 86.
