Choose the equation that represents the graph below:
A. y = -2x - 6
B. y = 2 over 3x + 6
C. y = -2 over 3x + 6
D. y = 2x + 6
Nnesha (nnesha):
y=mx+b is a slope intercept form where m is slope and b is y-intercept
if line is increasing then slope would be POSITIVE
if line is decreasing then slope would be NEGATIVE
y-intercept is a point where line cross y-axis
Nnesha (nnesha):
line is increasing OR decreasing ?
OpenStudy (biohazard9064):
Decreasing
Nnesha (nnesha):
so slope would be negative or positive ?

negative
Nnesha (nnesha):
great
now look at the graph at what point line intersect the y-axis ?
OpenStudy (biohazard9064):
6
Nnesha (nnesha):
so y = mx + b
b= y intercept
substitute b for 6
Nnesha (nnesha):

slope = rise over run

OK so
OpenStudy (biohazard9064):
Is it D?

do you see triangles
you should draw a triangle where line intersect the corner
