http://aventalearning.com/content168staging/2006AlgebraIA/exams/4-EXAM4/graph_100.gif


y = 1/2x - 3

y = 3x - 2

y = -1/2 x + 3

y = -2x +3

Answer 1

what one do you think?

Answer 2

B?

Answer 3

The line is going down wards so that tells us the slope is a negative. Does B have a negative slope?

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

Good explanation, MDoodle. So now we know the answer is not B and MDoodler gave you a big hint as well :)

Answer 6

Now, since we know the slope is a negative that tells us it is either C or D

Answer 7

Correcto

Answer 8

D

Answer 9

From the y intercept, which is (0, 3) or 3 we can use that point and use our slope to find the answer

Lets look at C, from the points (0,3) lets use our slope -rise/run -1/2

from (0,3) go down one and over 2? and keep doing that. Does each point fall on the line?

Answer 10

ahh i c so it C
