Answer 1

Observe that the equation of the line, in general, is y = mx+b
and m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept (The point on the graph where the line crosses the y-axis).

If the slope is negative, the line will look like this: \
If the slope if positive, the line will look like this: /

Also, to determine how the graph shifts up and down... look at the y-intercept of the graph of both lines and see how many units they changed.

Answer 2

So you have a function y = -3x - 5

The " -5 " is the y intercept, but it also represents the shift of the parent function y = -3x

Answer 3

Are we looking for the graph of y= -3x-5 ?

Answer 4

yes.

Answer 5

That graph looks like this \ ,
therefore options "C" and "D" are Eliminated , since they're like / !

Options "A" and "B" remain since they look like this : \

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

it's B!
