Question

{UPDATED}

The ordered pairs (20, -29.5), (21, -31), and (22, -32.5) are points on the graph of a linear equation. Which of the following graphs shows all of the ordered pairs in the solution set of this linear equation?

Answer 1

help pls, im dumb

Answer 2

Hey

Answer 3

So basically plot all of the points and youll find your answer

Answer 4

Looks like it is going to be the first one

Answer 5

how is it going to be the first one? sorry, im a bit confused here

Answer 6

Ok do you know how to plot points on a graph

Answer 7

mostly

Answer 8

Positive x values go to the right and negative y values go down

Answer 9

so all of those values are going to the right and then down

Answer 10

yes, i know that. but the points were 20, and higher.

Answer 11

yes, but use your knowledge of plotting points
because all of the x values are positive it will start on the right side
and because all of the y values are negative it will start under the x axis

Answer 12

so that just leaves us to the first and the last one

Answer 13

i was guessing it was the last one... but im not really sure....

Answer 14

it could be

Answer 15

do you know why it could be

Answer 16

the y values are a bit greater than the x values (Ignoring the signs) therefore the slope will have less of a slant so it will in fact be the last one

Answer 17

alrighty, I'll try to figure out if it's either the first one or the last one, I kind of had a feeling it was the last one. Thank you!
