The answers are the graphs

Answer 1

Answer 2

Hey there, in order to find out what graph corresponds to the equation, you have to convert it to slope-intercept form. y=mx+b

Answer 3

Do you think you can do that?

Answer 4

I tried but I couldn't figure it out...

Answer 5

Add x to both sides, then divide the equation by -2 to get it to be just y

Answer 6

y = -3 + x/-2

Answer 7

Answer 8

Yes, so the equation would be \[y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }-3\]

Answer 9

First things first, our slope is negative, so the line will be going down from left to right.

Answer 10

Would the answer be D

Answer 11

Not quite, remember, the y-intercept is -3. That is when the line crosses the y axis.

Answer 12

I meant B sorry...

Answer 13

Because it crosses the y-int at -3 and it goes descneding from left to right
