FAN AND MEDAL!!!!
Choose the equation that represents the graph below:

Graph of a line passing through points 0 comma 6 and 9 comma 0

y = -2x - 6
y = negative two thirdsx + 6
y = -negative two thirdsx + 6
y = 2x + 6

HI!!

Answer 4

You can check each equation. Let's pick choice D at random

y = 2x + 6

Answer 5

plug in (0,6)

y = 2x + 6

6 = 2(0) + 6

6 = 6 ... this works

----------------

plug in (9,0)

y = 2x + 6

0 = 2(9) + 6

0 = 18 + 6

0 = 24 ... this does not, so the equation cannot be y = 2x + 6

Answer 6

you'll do the same for each answer choice

Answer 7

that's one way to do it of course, there is another way

Answer 8

ok thanks @jim_thompson5910

-2/3x + 6

Answer 9

let's check that


plug in (x,y) = (0,6)

y = (-2/3)x + 6

6 = (-2/3)(0) + 6

6 = 0 + 6

6 = 6 ... works

----------------

plug in (x,y) = (9,0)

y = (-2/3)x + 6

0 = (-2/3)(9) + 6

0 = -6 + 6

0 = 0 ... works, so the equation is indeed (-2/3)x + 6

Answer 10

6= 2/3(0) + 6
6= 0 + 6
6=6

Answer 11

yeah was working on the rest

Answer 12

wait you plugged in 9 for y but 9 is x

Answer 13

I replaced y with 0 in the second part

Answer 14

oh sorry I suck at math

Answer 15

you're doing great, no worries
