OpenStudy (anonymous):

he

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help someone!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i sure hope u can help me please

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

is the first equation y = x - 5 or y = x + 5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=x+5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then below it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = –5x – 1

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

oh ok - it wasnt clear on my sceen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh ok

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

or its my eyesight (lol) well y = x + 5 will have a positive slope and will pass through 5 on vertical axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i know its not B because when i took the test the first time i got it wrong so its either a c or d

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

psitive slope is / increasing as you go right the other equation will have a steep negative slope and pass through -1 on y-axis

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

look at a - do you see any line passing through y=5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gimie a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i think the answer is A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

no - take a look at this |dw:1350996821228:dw|
