Step-by-step explanation:
I believe the answer is D. Rectangular prism
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Top line: y = (2/3)x + 2
Bottom line: y = (2/3)x -1
Discussion:
The graph provided is hard to read but I did the best I could.
The top line appears to pass through the points (0,2) and (-3,0)
For this line
m = change y /change x = (0-2)/(-3-0) = -2/-3 = +2/3. So
y = mx + b => y = (2/3) x+ b. As the line passes through (0,2) set x = 0, y= 2 in y = (2/3)x + b =>
2 = (2/3) 0 + b => b = 2
Therefore y = (2/3)x + 2
The bottom line appears to pass through the points (0,-1) and (3,1)
For this line
m = change y /change x = (1-(-1)) /(3-0) = +2/-3. So
y = mx + b => y = (2/3) x+ b. As the line passes through (0,-1) set x = 0, y= -1 in y = (2/3)x + b =>
-1 = (2/3) 0 + b => b = -1
Therefore y = (2/3)x + -1
Thank you,

To find the slope of the line:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(14-5)/(4-1)=(9)/(3)=3
Only one of your 4 possible answers has 3 as a slope. However, plugging in each point into the y=mx+b equation, the y-intercept consistently comes out as 2..
y=mx+b
14=3(4)+b b=2
5=3(1)+b b=2
y=3x+2
If there is a consistent, positive slope (from your question, this does not seem to have a quadratic as an option), 3x+5 is not even a viable solution because x=1 when the y-value is 5 (and thus no other x value {0} could have a y-value of 5). It seems as though you have a typo on your hands. Hopefully this helps?
