C

OpenStudy (jack1):

im better at slope intercept form, but i think that rearranges to y = -0.5x -3 so slope is negative and verry shallow, so almost horizontal and y intercept is -3 so which does that match up to @lollipop96 ?

OpenStudy (jack1):

y = -0.5x -3 y = mx + c m = slope c = y intercept so I'd agree with @Official_Hotboy here, and say lok in C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you ! :)

OpenStudy (jack1):

so y = -0.75x -2 y = mx + c m = slope = negative, so downhill (going from left to right) and -0.75 c = y intercept = -2, so intercepts the y axis at this point so which graph matches up @lollipop96

OpenStudy (jack1):

so D is out, because it's uphill, so would have a positive m value B is out, because the y intercept of that line is 2, and our equation states it should be -2

OpenStudy (jack1):

so that leaves A and C -3/4 = m so y changes by 3 for every 4 changes of x

OpenStudy (jack1):

so C again (moves 3 down and 4 across between the 2 marked points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you @Jack1 :)!!

You're graph defines a HYPERBOLA which isn't described by any of the graphs: \[y+3=-\frac{ 1 }{ 2x }=>y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*\frac{ 1 }{ x }-3\] The standard form for a line is y=mx+b so there is certainly a mistake in the question
