y = x2 − 5x − 3 6x − y = −27 y = x2 − 5x + 3 6x − y = 27 y = x2 + 5x + 3 6x + y = −27 y = x2 + 5x − 3 6x + y = 27

i gt d

got*

OpenStudy (phi):

the line has negative slope, and its y intercept is definitely negative. I would put each equation of the line into y = mx+b and look for the equation that has a negative m, and a negative b

OpenStudy (phi):

The first option 6x − y = −27 becomes 6x = y-27 (add y to both sides) then 6x+27 = y (add 27 to both sides) or y= 6x+27 that loses twice: slope is positive and y-intercept is positive. So rule out choice A

OpenStudy (phi):

Do the same for the other choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi that would rule out b also

OpenStudy (phi):

yes choice b has positive slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i wana say its c

OpenStudy (phi):

what do you get for the eq in y= mx+b form ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-6x-27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, that has negative slope and negative y intercept. If you check choice (d) it should not work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have two more questions, can you help?

OpenStudy (phi):

if you make them a new post.
