Answer:
D. y = -2x + 20
Step-by-step explanation:
first, plot these points on a linear graph.
work down from the top:
A. y = 2x + 5
look at the last number first, this means the line will cross over the y axis (vertical line) at + 5. draw a point on + 5
y = 2x + 5
From this point (+5), the 2x means that for every 1 square you move across (to the right), you will go up 2. This will make the second point of the line. connect the dots. (see picture 1 below)
B. y = 2x - 6
the last number means the first point will be on -6 on the y axis.
y = 2x - 6
the 2x means that every 1 square you go across (to the right) from that point, you will move up 2
C. y = 2x
as there is no second number, this line will cross through the center of the graph. the 2 means that for every 1 square you move across from that point, you will move up 2
D. y = -2x + 20
the +20 means this line will cross the y axis and + 20, the -2 means that for every 1 square you move across to the right, you move DOWN 2.
this is the only line that moves down from left to right
