Question

which of the following equations does the graph show below pls help l give u the branliest answer or wtvr

Answer 1

Answer:

x - 5y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent the equation of the graph in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

We'd need to find slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the graph.

Slope (m) = ∆y/∆x

Using two points on the line, (0, -1) and (5, 0),

Slope (m) = (0 - (-1)) / (5 - 0) = 1/5

m = ⅕

y-intercept (b) is the point on the y-axis where the line intercepts the y-axis = -1

Therefore, b = -1

To write the equation, substitute m = ⅕ and b = -1 into y = mx + b

Thus:

y = ⅕(x) + (-1)

y = ⅕(x) - 1

Rewrite in standard form:

-⅕x + y = -1

Multiply both sides by -5

-⅕x*-5 + y*-5 = -1*-5

x - 5y = 5
