Question

Use the graph below to answer the question that follows.

Answer 1

Which equation does this graph represent?

Answer 2

Well just from the graph...I see something along the lines of

y = -2/3x + 1

Answer 3

\[y = -\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x + 1\]

\[y = \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x + 1\]

\[y = -\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x + 1\]

\[y = \frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x + 1\]

Answer 4

how did u see that.... since its going down it has to be negative right ?

Answer 5

Ahh exactly....so you see the line doesn't start at the origin...it starts at 1 on the y-axis....meaning the function has a +1

the slope is negative because you can see how the line is moving

and if you calculate the slope by going down 2...and over 3...you get the equation I wrote :)

Answer 6

thank you so much :)

Answer 7

anytime :)
