Question

Which of the following is the correct graph of the linear equation below?

y+2=1/5(x-1)

Answer 1

typo

Answer 2

@satellite73 sorry it is

Answer 3

\[y+2=\frac{1}{5}(x-1)\] lets solve for \(y\)

Answer 4

okay, so how would I go about that? @satellite73

Answer 5

multiply out on the right and get
\[y+2=\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{5}\] then subtract \(2\) and get
\[y=\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{11}{5}\]

Answer 6

the slope is \(\frac{1}{5}\) so it goes up, but it is not that steep
and the \(y\) intercept is \(-2.2\) below the \(y\) axis

Answer 7

Would the answer be C then since it is slowly going up? @satellite73

Answer 8

yes, the answer is C because
i) it is slowly going up
ii) the answer is always C

Answer 9

thank you!!!! you're awesome @satellite73 :)
