given the y intercept you can cross out 2 answer choices immediately
OpenStudy (anonymous):
C and D?
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
yep those are the ones you would cancel out
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
now you could explicitly solve for the slope, but what do you notice about the line? is it decreasing or increasing?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Increasing

yep good job so you can cancel out answer choice a. because the slope is negative.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Awesome, got another one. It's exactly the same.
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
alright lets see it
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
well first off we can cancel out choice c) as it has a negative slope

and A?
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
Next we notice that for equation CE that the y-intercept is 1. So we can cancel out A. and D.
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
yep
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
We can cancel out D because the y-intercept turns out to be 4/5
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
so now your left with one answer choice
