Question

Which is the graph of y=5/4x-3

Answer 1

When x = 0 y=-3
so graph starts at -3

Now the slope of this equation is 5/4 so for every point we rise up by 5 we have to run to positive x axis 4 units.

Answer 2

Definitely can't A because when y = (-3+5) x = 6?(graph was cut off then)

Answer 3

is it C?

Answer 4

What makes you say that can you tell me?

Answer 5

oh wait i see what i did wrong

Answer 6

The starting point has to be (0,-3) remember because when x is 0 y = -3

Answer 7

Yay so what do you think it is?

Answer 8

so does that mean y is gonna be 3 less then x?

Answer 9

y= mx+b, b is the y intercept which is -3 in this case, this leaves us with choices A and B. Set y = 0 to find x int. x int= 2.4. The only reasonable answer is B

Answer 10

Yes you could think of it like that.

Answer 11

so would it be B?

Answer 12

Yes.

Answer 13

YES!
