Question

Plzz help!!

Which of the following statements best describes the graph of -5x + 2y = 1?

Answer 1

A. It is a curve joining the points (-5, 2), (2, 3), and (4, 1).
B. It is a curve joining the points (-1, -3), (-1, -3), and (1, 5).
C. It is a straight line joining the points (1, 3), (3, 8), and (-3, -7).
D. It is a straight line joining the points (4, -3), (-1, 2), and (-4, 5).

Answer 2

\(-5x + 2y = 1\)
can this function be expressed in a slope form \(y=mx+b\) ?

Answer 3

@Calvin3

Answer 4

no?

Answer 5

Yes it can

Answer 6

If you inverse -5x (which adds 5x to both sides) to get 2y alone and divide both sides by 2 to get y completely alone, The expression can be explained in a y=mx+b as y=2/5x + 1/2

Answer 7

5/2*

Answer 8

so then the answer would be A.?

Answer 9

When the slope-intercept form is implemented, more often then not, it will not be curved.

Answer 10

so then it's not A or B

Answer 11

Right

Answer 12

so that leaves C and D could you help me find out which one it is

Answer 13

I tried plotting them and C came out right, so I would say C

Answer 14

Thx for all your help :)
