Answer:
A and C
Step-by-step explanation:
It can not be D, since that will mean that <em>the line is perfectly horizontal</em>, with 0 as its slope.
It can be C, since the <em>equation's slope is positive and has a negative y-intercept</em>, like the graph.
Changing around A gives us y = 2x - 3. That has a <em>positive slope and a negative y-intercept</em>, like the graph. So, A is a possibility.
Changing around B gives us y = ²/₃x + 3. This has a positive slope, <em>but also a positive y-intercept</em>, so B can not be the answer.
First convert -5/6(b+1) to -5/6b-5/6 which looks like:
1/3b+2/3b-5/6b-5/6
second add 1/3b+2/3b=3/3b, convert to 6/6b so:
6/6b-5/6b-5/6
subtract 6/6b-5/6b = 1/6b so:
1/6b-5/6 is the answer
(6 - 2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3
6 - (2 - 1) = 6 - 1 = 5
The associative rule doesn't work for subtraction because you get different results when you move the parentheses.
