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

steve816 · Answer

Do you think you can do that?

yeval76 · Answer

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

steve816 · Answer

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

yeval76 · Answer

y = -3 + x/-2

yeval76 · Answer

@steve816

steve816 · Answer

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

steve816 · Answer

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

yeval76 · Answer

Would the answer be D

steve816 · Answer

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

yeval76 · Answer

I meant B sorry...

yeval76 · Answer

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