Answer 5

help me @KamiBug

Answer 6

You can tell that the y-intercept is 5, because 5 is where the line starts on the y-axis.
To find the slope, take the coordinates on the graph and use the slope formula:
(y-y)/(x-x)

Answer 7

so its A

Answer 8

A. can someone give me a medal and then I will give you best answer

Answer 9

so its A @KamiBug and @kobeni-chan

Answer 10

yep @brucebaner

Answer 11

@brucebaner The y-intercept is 5 and the slope is 7. So it's D. :)

Answer 12

thx

Answer 13

We know the slope is 7 b/c we need to use the slope formula:
61-33 / 8-4 = 28/4 = 7

Answer 14

so its A @KamiBug

Answer 15

It is D.
A has the wrong slope.

Answer 16

D thx
