8TH grade question need answer ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

Go through the process of elimination first. Can you tell from the graph which answers are obviously wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im pretty sure B is wrong, and hello fellow whovian

OpenStudy (tardis):

Yes, B is wrong but do you know why? Also as a tip, remember that when the variable (x or y) is equal to a number, it becomes a line because it means that it is equal to all points on that line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I sorta know why, but not fully. I also think A or D might be the answer

OpenStudy (tardis):

http://www.shmoop.com/basic-algebra/graphing-horizontal-vertical-lines.html This site might help with the visual example of what I mean. Sorry, I left my tablet at home. So it wouldn't be A because look at where the y-intercept is on the graph. For A, it's at *positive 3*x. Also, there is no x because it is a straight line. What is y equal to on the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, I actually am going to be honest here and say I have no clue about this stuff. I really do think, as a guess, it is D though. Please tell me if I am right. Its almost time to go eat and I just need this done.

OpenStudy (tardis):

Simply put, on a graph y = 2 would mean that it would be a straight neverending horizontal line with a y-intercept at 2. The line would go through (0,2), (30, 2), (-5, 2), etc. So think about how that would apply here. I have to go eat too but I can't give you the direct answer, sorry it's against the rules. If you read what I wrote and click the link I gave you, you should be able to figure out the answer though.

OpenStudy (tardis):

Also, remember that no X is needed so D is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ive been thinking about that,,, is is C then?
