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 ?

OpenStudy (biohazard9064):

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):

|dw:1440081626618:dw| slope = rise over run

OpenStudy (biohazard9064):

OK so

OpenStudy (biohazard9064):

Is it D?

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1440081752851:dw| do you see triangles you should draw a triangle where line intersect the corner

Nnesha (nnesha):

slope = rise over run |dw:1440081848549:dw|
