Question

I NEED HELPP PLZ Which equation best represents the relationship shown in this graph?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x

the formula for linear equations are y = mx+c,

where m is the gradient,

and c is the y-intercept

to find m (the gradient):

1. pick to points on the graph (eg. -2,-4 and 2,4)

2 substitute the values into the formula for gradient y2-y1/x2-x1.

m = y2-y1/x1-x2

= -4 -4/-2-2

= -8/-4

= 2

to find c (y-intercept):

- the y-intercept is where the graph cuts the y axis

- in this graph, the y-intercept is 0

hence,

c = 0

substitute m = 2 and c = 0 to y = mx+c,

y = 2x + 0

y = 2x

hence, the equation that best represents the relationship shown in the graph is y = 2x.
