Which graph is the line (y+1)=3/5 (x-3) ?

There is an easy way to figure these things out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how

OpenStudy (danjs):

Figuring out where the line crosses the x and y axis,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry if i don't reply right after

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (danjs):

so to determine a line, you need 2 points on the line.

OpenStudy (danjs):

idk, i havent looked at any of the graphs, i am telling you how to go about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I am going to have to work on History too so I don't want to be mad if i don't reply right away

OpenStudy (danjs):

To find where the line crosses the Y-Axis, we can set X=0, and find Y y + 1 = (3/5)(x - 3) Letting X=0 Y + 1 = (3/5) ( 0 - 3) Y + 1 = -9/5 Y = -9/5 - 5/5 Y = -14/5 So when we let X=0 we found Y is -14/5, or about -2.8 The point x=0 , y=-2.8 is where the line crosses the Y-axis

OpenStudy (danjs):

Actually, that is enough information to decide which answer it is,

OpenStudy (danjs):

Which one crosses the Y-axis at -2.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (danjs):

yep, none of the other lines do, so we dont need to find any other information

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
