y = mx +b

m = slope
b= y intercept

            rise
slope =----
            run

anonymous · Answer

you got the slope right

jackellyn · Answer

y intercept, on the graph, will be where the line crosses the y axis.

jackellyn · Answer

@satellite73 i think she is putting the choices, that isn't her answer.

anonymous · Answer

i am confused by your question
are you supposed to graph $y=-\frac{5}{4}x+1$ or are you supposed to find the equation of the line graphed above

anonymous · Answer

oh then let me be quiet

anonymous · Answer

I think its a or b :/

anonymous · Answer

But ill put the whole thing to see if I'm wrong

anonymous · Answer

ooh i see
you have the slope correct, it is $-\frac{5}{4}$ and the y - intercept is 1

anonymous · Answer

which means it crosses the y axis at $(0,1)$ so it is your second graph above

ganeshie8 · Answer

no. both a & b are not matching

anonymous · Answer

nope scratch taht!!

anonymous · Answer

it is not the second graph, because although the y intercept is one, the slope is not $-\frac{5}{4}$

anonymous · Answer

thanks to @ganeshie8 for catching that one

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

Its C

anonymous · Answer

right

ganeshie8 · Answer

you are right its C. good work :)

anonymous · Answer

C matches the slope is write in C and it lines up good. Thank you :)

ganeshie8 · Answer

np :)

anonymous · Answer

yes it is C
